“I think it's most important to, rather than just do what everybody els...” — Lindsey Stirling Quote

I think it's most important to, rather than just do what everybody else is doing, like tons of selfies, find out what makes you excited. You know, is it taking pictures and doing cool makeup and making yourself look great? If so, wonderful. Is it music? Is it teaching something? Are you great at teaching?

It's really hard to smile when you play. As a performer, if I ever find myself focusing, it's like, 'Oh no - orchestra face!' It's not attractive at all, so I have to focus on smiling.

If I like dubstep and electronic, why don't I make the violin fit me rather than making myself fit the violin?

There are so many things that can go wrong while performing. I've had violin strings break; I've had pants that were slowly falling down, and I'd have to pull them up in between every song; my hairpiece was falling out, so a big chunk of hair was just flapping around as I danced, and I've completely fallen on my butt.

Am I perfect? Not at all. I'm just like everybody else.

I've always been a caretaker; I think a lot of women are. We take care of everybody else first, and very rarely do we think about ourselves.

I'm just the same as everybody else.

My mom was a piano teacher. It turned into something of a competition between me and her students... I liked the idea that I needed to be better than everybody else.

I never got on the 'Stranger Things' train. Everybody else did, but for me, I'm the wrong audience because I don't like sci-fi/fantasy.
