“I'm nervous performing because it's such a weird thing to do, standing...” — Sharon Van Etten Quote

“I'm nervous performing because it's such a weird thing to do, standing on stage demanding people's attention.”

“Singing a song like 'Your Love Is Killing Me,' people are worried about me. My mother called me, like, 'What's going on with you? Are you alright? I thought you were doing fine.' And I'm like, 'I am doing fine. It's just, this is what I do.'”

“One day when I have a band I will have a band name, but since it's just me I feel it should just be my name. For me it doesn't make much sense since the music is from me and about me. I haven't ever been in a band.”

“I'm very low-maintenance, and that is a problem. I'm not demanding at all, and sometimes I feel that I should be throwing tantrums. But since I don't party or socialise, and am very low-key, I think that makes me very low-maintenance. Actually, I'm the most boring person at a party.”

“I'm demanding to be prosecuted. I'm begging to be prosecuted for perjury.”

“I think the one thing about me is I'm a fairly demanding guy, and I give a great deal of myself, and I expect that in return.”
