With music, I get to a much darker place. Where I'm able to go with 'Portlandia' has a wider range, but also a brighter range.
From Carrie Brownstein
I don't think I would live outside of the Northwest. I think the quality of life in Portland is really good. People move from intense, high-powered jobs, and move to Portland, work half as much and live twice as good.
With Sleater-Kinney, we did a lot of improvisation in our live shows, and even our process of songwriting involved bringing in disparate parts and putting them together to form something cohesive.
I really don't know what to do when my life is not chaotic.
I think hip-hop does a very good job of infusing comedy and humor and wit into music, a lot more than other genres.
With Portlandia, I don't think our intention is always to find something funny. Sometimes the humor comes from taking something really seriously. We're okay with making somebody feel uncomfortable or uneasy.
