«Sometimes in the past when I was going to perform a piece again I would listen to old recordings and try to reproduce the material. This time I realized that carrying around old information, trying to get everything in, and still be in the moment just doesn't work.»
Author: Meredith Monk
«That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. So to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something.»
Author: Meredith Monk
«It's a continual excavation process, you could say. It's like being an archeologist of your own instrument as a kind of microcosm of the human voice, of human utterance, of sound itself. By digging into my own voice I'm uncovering feelings and energies for which we don't have words - it's like shades of feeling, early human utterance, and essential human nature.»
Author: Meredith Monk

Author: Meredith Monk
«I had a number of interests that were all strands of my childhood. I come from a musical family - I'm a fourth generation singer.

Author: Meredith Monk
«I'm sure that some of the hospice participants will be in the audience. One of them has already died. And, you know, all of us have impermanence in common.»
Author: Meredith Monk
«A group called Rosetta Life, that sends artists out to hospices in England, came to talk to me in February 2003. I lost my partner of 22 years in November 2002, so I was really in my grieving process - I still am - but I was thinking of nothing but impermanence then.»
