hate mind female-musicians
I don't hate being compared with female musicians. I don't mind that at all. I have no problem with seeing connections between women's work.
hate writing men
I hate it when people don't recognize the work of women as being universal, or having any import to the world at large, as opposed to men's work, which is generally tends to be seen as more universal - men's writing about their own experience tends to be put in a broader context.
hate hands mouths
I always feel I have to take a stand, And there's always someone on hand To hate me for standing there. I always feel I have to open my mouth, And every time I do, I offend someone, somewhere.
morning fun hate
I always try and stay one step ahead of people, not looking like I looked like last week, so I can be as anonymous as possible and part of it is just for me. It is fun to just come up with new and bizarre colors for each area of your body and things like that, but there are some parts of it that I just keep wanting to negate myself. I hate waking up in the morning and recognizing the woman in the bathroom mirror.
hate pops pop-music
I seriously hate pop music and all things super-commercial.

People talk about my image, like I come in two dimensions, like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind, like what I happen to be wearing the day that someone takes my picture is my new statement for all womankind
both close oh
Both hands... Now use both hands. Oh no, don't close your eyes.
begin best seems wonder wrong
Seems like everyone's an actor or an actor's best friend, I wonder what was wrong to begin with that they should all have to pretend.
balloon began bit forth hope money passions people
As it began to balloon before our eyes, and more and more and more and more people and money were involved, it was a bit overwhelming. But you just go forth with your passions and hope for the best.
