Creativity Quote by Keren Ann

Restlessness gets recast as belonging: not in a place, but in motion. Coming from Keren Ann - a musician whose career is built on touring, transnational influences, and a voice that often sounds like it’s half-addressing the listener from a hotel room - the line reads less like bragging and more like a coping mechanism turned philosophy. The train and the plane aren’t glamorous symbols here; they’re the fluorescent-lit corridors of contemporary work, the repetitive in-betweens where days blur and relationships get managed in time zones.

The intent is quietly defensive. If you admit you’re never home, you invite the melancholy of not having one. So she flips the premise: home is wherever her body lands, even if it’s temporary, even if it’s a gate change and a delayed connection. It’s a practical mantra for someone who lives out of a suitcase, but also an aesthetic statement. Many modern artists sell intimacy while living in transit; they have to manufacture stability inside instability, to stay porous enough to write while staying armored enough to keep going.

Subtext: the world asks for constant availability, and the self adapts by redefining roots as portability. There’s a faint loneliness in the casualness - “wherever I happen to be” - that shrugs off the question of whether this is chosen freedom or enforced drift. The line works because it’s both: a romanticization of movement and a small confession that home, as permanence, has become a luxury.
