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.
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.

I was really pleased with the way we came back. It told me a lot about the girls coming back like they did.
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.

It took me a while to accept that I'm not going to have the curves other girls get.
animal collective hearing loss permanent seen suffered
I've seen Animal Collective live, and I suffered permanent hearing loss from that show!
beings curve human learning music natural obscure
The thing about music is it's not an obscure pursuit, it's a very natural thing for human beings to do. Once you put in the effort, the learning curve is very fast.
I've always been very intense about everything I do.
music
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
art good
I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art.
music
My image seems to be so infantilized, and I don't really know why. It belittles the music.
