thinking sexuality gender
Maybe our gender is one thing and our sexuality is another. And that's a cool thing I think.
jobs thinking community
I do think within any job you do, you have a chance to serve the community.
hurt thinking worth-it
I think you just have to take the bad with the good and you're going to get hurt more, but it's worth it.
girl writing thinking
I think the musicians I play with solo do a certain thing that the musicians we play with with the Indigo Girls don't do. It's just a different thing. And it sort of steers my writing in some ways.
country thinking rocks
But if you want to be a songwriter-based musician, whether you play punk or rock or country or jazz, whatever, you have to work on your songwriting and you have to work on being able to play in front of people, I think. That performance is how you create the groundwork for a lasting career.
thinking talking kind
I'm not really thinking about what I'm talking about or what I'm willing to achieve. I'm just kind of letting it come out, recording it.
art thinking people
I think art is definitely a great thing, and looked at as a way to open people up.
knew time
We knew each other from about the time we were 10.
met soon
As soon as they met us, I think everyone was more comfortable.
area best humans mostly nature north rural surrounds
I live in the rural area of North Georgia, so for me, those are these best days. It has little to do with humans and mostly to do with nature and what surrounds me.
extremely operate political politics queer
I think our politics are extremely punk. The world that we operate in is still unfortunately more corporate. We can be queer and political but we're still part of the system.
bride fun groom met took
We met the bride and groom and the family, and took some pictures. It was a lot of fun to be a part of the celebration.
nice planning
We did some planning with them. It was nice to get involved.
song moving book
If some event happens and it seems really important to me and moving to me, I'll write it down in my lyric book knowing that it will come out in a song.
