girl kind pops
It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector, and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me.
girl fun crazy
Miami is just really fun whenever I go there. It's like this post-apocalyptic Barbie world: everything is pink, and there're palm trees everywhere. But then there are also all these people in crazy sunglasses, warehouses with sick parties where all the girls are covered in spikes and black leather. It's a very weird place.
girl successful ugly
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
came coming girls pleased
I was really pleased with the way we came back. It told me a lot about the girls coming back like they did.
early girls good needed pleased win
We're very pleased with the way the girls played. The young ones did what they needed to do and it was good to get an early win under our belts.
bats constantly days girls mound positive strengths three wins
Having all three girls get wins on the mound is also a positive sign. That is constantly one of our strengths and we have really been working to get the bats going for days like these.
girl school kids
I've always been the girl the kids in school would be like, 'What is she wearing?' Then eventually some trends would stick.
girl curves accepting
It took me a while to accept that I'm not going to have the curves other girls get.
art easy empty industry music spaces
There used to be a lot of industry in Montreal, and now there's not, so it's really easy to get huge, empty spaces where you can practice and make music or make art for very, very cheap.
bad
The thing is, I really like working. If I sit around too much, I get really bad anxiety.
good
I'm not good at being, like, a sexy girl.
art freaked people totally unless worried
I'm not interested in making art unless I'm totally freaked out and worried people are going to hate it.
sort
I'm not, like, a natural performer. It's sort of a thing that I've had to learn to do.
driving people wanting
I'm actually not a particularly negative person, but I feel like most things are better when they're not actualized. The motivation that comes from wanting something is so much more driving of people than actually getting it.
