Interview with Regina Spektor (2/2)

[taninuh]

I just quoted her on my blog :> At 2:23 she's so inspiring

[MrCorkBoard]

I don't know how I feel about the interviewer trying to force a straight answer out of her about religion... but I love Regina! And I still think it's a great interview!

[juliancisthebest]

Gah, she's amazing. Such a well-rounded, cultured person that she believes everyone should just do what they want. And be religious if they WANT to.

[naioken90]

regina, i understand you completely. religion and faith. how to explain the art of words that you feel are pouring out of you without no explanation what so ever. I love you and your work so keep at it <3

[TheGirlinAmask98]

4:55 I hear shouting... lolz. I can personally punish myself because I let some small background detail distract me from Regina's beautiful words ;)

[USABG58]

Wow! I thought: Look out, airhead ahead...but she's expressed my outlook on life/religion.

Does she have an older sister...she's cute!!!

[voluptuousburlesque]

Jewish.

[NinjaOutfitInTheWash]

I love her so much, and for some reason this makes me want to cry real bad.

Ps, I'm not on my period

[loitsulaulanta]

I think the interviewer was great. She made Regina speak as intelligenly as she did, because the questions were hard enough. Regina had to think what to say. Maybe the american way of interviewing differ from from european so much that some people find this annoying. I mean, this is not the oprah or conan o'brien way to interview a person! But i think Regina is enjoying herself here, she is saying things like she means them, like this is what she wants to talk about.

[Ryomha11251]

@loitsulaulanta I actually am american and prefer the artist take as much time as they need to fully answer the question. My thought process takes quite awhile, so I usually need some time as well xD

[emilee537]

it's like chocolate milk!

[mozeppo]

I adore her so much. When she was talking about religion I got so happy because she has pretty much the exact same beliefs as me. jfsdfjkhf she just makes me smile(: what a wonderful lady

[gmyrs3]

Her ideas are so innocent and pure. My respect for her just shot through the roof.

[morikahjo]

interviewer made me mad....whats with the difficult weird questions?

[ihfppl]

i get so relaaxed listening to her

[RobertaIBetti]

I think Regina has the best views about religion ever. She doesn't believe in a god or more gods, but has a strong commitment to spirituality. Her faith is Love.

[Loppisloppan]

that interviewer must feel so stupid when talking to regina spektor

[BeatrijsBakker]

"it would be like acomplish myself with having blue eyes" haha great.

[thomasbaron06]

Regina Spektor is just the most beautiful woman in the whole world,

her looks,

her voice,

her music,

everything about her,

Regina, i love you! <3

[shgv48]

I think the questions begin to get a little too personal (about what Regina believes in).

[DemonsDog]

das vadanya Regina. 

[Nev1890]

i love the apples analogy she made =) and i love how honest she is

[zhulia]

wow that was a bad interviewer but she gave good answers anyway

[Multiplexing13]

She is so cute. Haha.

[dharmangersch]

Thank you Regina

[Hello2950]

I love her sooo much X) Haha, "Its a choclate milk!" Wish I could congratulate her tommorow, on her birthday <3<3<3 :)

[superfluousness321]

You have to laugh at the questions... So could you say something in Russian?...

[LyingJuliet2]

She is smiling her beautiful smile all the time ^^

[GixAGEN]

anyone knows when and under what circumstances had she been to sweden by that time?

[Joopson]

What is wrong with you?

She makes beautiful music, and she is quite good with speechcraft. Lets see "Lil' Wayne" perform so eloquently during an interview. We love Regina because she is a breathtaking person who makes breathtaking music.

[KaywinnetSerenity]

why would you call her dumb, if you didnt spell here correctly? She specifically stated that she isn't trying to indoctrinate anyone. If you are going to say things like that on here, I would highly suggest you meet her and actually give her a chance to defend herself and her views.

[VeeNoel]

I want to be as classy as Regina Spekter,

[botneva]

it's beautiful to hear her speak Russian... Our native language)

Привет, всего хорошего, дорогая Регина)))

[zizieyez]

no, i'm wrong. She is eloquent!

[zizieyez]

I love her analogies and it gave me goosebumps listening to her personal views on faith because I share the very same views except she has such a lovely way of expressing it in words.

[127945127945]

She is just amazing.

[schnacker41]

man i have the feeling that if i would ever meet i could talk to her for hours...

[Scarletthelps]

"I believe in love!" lol

she is so cute and smart I would just love to talk to her about everything!

[deetardeded]

Let's play a new drinking game. Everytime Regina says y'know, drink! hahaha I'm kidding. I love her. So much! She's so brilliant and wonderfully accepting and loving.

[hotwaiter]

I guess because everyone is so "BOO" on religion and faith, it's hard for her to say "well...I believe in it!!" but I honestly think it's probably a deep subject for her so she's just trying to choose the right things to say for a very deep subject in her heart.

[rachelpredicts]

I completely agree with you.

[xxdiogenescynicxx]

@hotwaiter I don't think it is just that. I mean she did come from Soviet Russia where it was almost impossible to practice your faith.

[12KillerStrawberries]

Only regina could turn an interview with such a crappy interview like that into an amazing interview<3 :)

[PuffofMagic]

"Hultsfred" and "всего хорошего"!

she speaks both of my languages in one interview, finally! ^_^

Привет Региночка!

всем привет!

[kryptoncolomo]

She's always been so nice... I love her voice and accent.... I wish i could meet her in person! come to Denver Regina!!!

[peachtable966]

"chocolate milk!"

she had that so ready. i wonder if she was contemplating this before the interview.

oh, and one last thing: STAY FREE, REGINA! lol she tells the truth about that, how she avoids "the box" constantly- it's apparent in her music, and even in her interviews. She's such a breath of fresh air...

[saulofontoura]

She is sort of afraid of saying she has faith... she keeps explaining herself as if she thinks somebody will say she is a fanatic/ignorant believer.

On the other hand, her song "Laughing with" states the message very clearly: She believes in something higher and yet, does not care about defining it.

I guess she expresses herself better with songs than with words.

[dgrant625]

The interviewer was rubbish, but Regina was amazing <3

[Febrais]

she makes the best anaolgies.

ReSpekt<29

[ohdoshutit]

she's too smart to have 'faith' - religion is nonsense - i'm pretty confident she'll figure it out one day.

[withoutAspark]

maybe think of faith as not being religious. maybe faith is just her tendency/ personal decision to be optimistic.

[domWWW]

from what she said she is rather more agnostic than religious (especially if you think of organized religion).

[ohdoshutit]

'religion is nonsense' - jeez i didn't think that would piss so many people off - it is the 21st century people

[moneyquickeasy]

You're just going to rot in hell (ohdoshutit) Have fun! =)

[peachtable966]

please don't be disrespectful. And maybe one day she'll start believing there isn't a god, after all, but it won't be because "religion is nonsense". It'll be because that's her choice. Besides, i doubt that'll happen.

[LapisGarter]

You realize she never said she believes in God? She doesn't believe in a big guy sitting up in the sky looking down at everyone. She sees God as something inside her rather than someone outside.

[PaigeKari]

YESSS. Because that's what God is. She's smart. God lives THROUGH people.

[bdoughty814]

I am just obsessed with this girl she is just so amzing !!!!! She is so pretty

[xJewlz08x]

She should be president hahaha.

[bdoughty814]

Indeed, she is also really smart.

[ScarletsBeautifulLie]

Regina is a chocolate smoothie! I love it.

Also, I looooooooove how she pronounces the word "and." !!!

[reginaholic]

why are her comparisons always perfect?

[averoes81]

because she's a genius?

[reginaholic]

oh yes, of course haha

how forgetful of me!

[MrBlueChalk]

@reginaholic because she is a masterful genius of metaphors :D

[crzynsproductions]

I love the chocolate milk comparison :D

And I now have hope in life... even Regina procrastinates!

[crzynsproductions]

Once more with categorizing... I love Regina's strong opinions!!!

[Serafinalu]

"Let each other be" i totally agree regina. you're awesome

[Evenoix]

She is so adorable, "Im a mut of a person" she is soo cute, and i love how she talks with her hands. You just want to run up to her and hug her! I am really glad fame has never gone to her head.

Thank you for the upload!

[richardpaulgriffin]

i finally hear her talk in russian!

she's so cute :)

[bdoughty814]

I know i have been searching forever lol

[doffy1]

Wow... awesome to see Regina in an interview. She's amazingly creative, intelligence, and open minded... but shy. If you're going to get her to do an interview don't ask directly "What do you believe in?" Religion, religion, religion.

Let me interview you Regina... please.
