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.
noise needs kind
I love pop music, but I also love noise music, IDM - anything really, I get something out of most kinds of music. I just need to enjoy the process.
certain framework kinds
Writing a mystery is more difficult than other kinds of books because a mystery has a certain framework that must be superimposed over the story.
accent drove kinds people remember southern state time understand west
I remember the first time I ever drove through deep, southern West Virginia. I couldn't even understand the accent of the people there, you know. They couldn't understand me. West Virginia, actually, is a state that's made up of some different kinds of communities.
home house kind
I'm working on my house and playing with my fire pit and kind of just hanging around and making my home feel homey.

Since I have that edgy, rocker-tomboy kind of vibe, it can be very difficult to translate my style for the red carpet.

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 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.

My dream job would be sitting in a room, cranking out hits for Rihanna.
music songs
My favorite music is never the music that anyone else likes, and other people's favorite songs are always my least favorite.
