I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.

I don't have any money to hire actors. I just need to get people who are going to do a good job being themselves.

I was anxious to see how Amber would come out. She was a little tired but she did a nice job moving the ball. Then Bailey (Franklin) did a nice job coming in.
effect everybody gm job losses negative people small swamped
It will be swamped by the job losses that come out of Ford, GM or Delphi. Theoretically, everybody would say it's got to have a negative effect, but in the end it's going to be such a small effect most people wouldn't notice.
music
My image seems to be so infantilized, and I don't really know why. It belittles the music.
music songs
My favorite music is never the music that anyone else likes, and other people's favorite songs are always my least favorite.
insular
When I'm making a song that's very Grimes, it just feels very insular and it feels weird to have someone else do something on it.
art good
I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art.
experience music musical people
I went through my adolescence having this revelatory experience - I can have any music I want, and I can get it immediately. For me and for a lot of people I know, there's this musical eclecticism that happened.

music
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
incredibly school
I was incredibly unpopular in high school but also extremely notorious.
I think I have serious latent Catholic guilt issues.
