song real writing
I'm removed in my real life, and unable to express certain things face to face. So I have always found myself in this fantasy world. That's why I started writing songs and stories from a very young age. I'd much rather walk around anonymously cooking up tales than face the people that I have known forever.
memories together female
I was born in Las Vegas and my babysitter was a female Elvis Presley impersonator. My first memory is being in her arms and she was fully dressed up as Elvis. She was an avid thrift-shopper so I started going to thrift shops when I was very young. You could put something together for no money at all.
cute dark trying
As hard as I try to sound tough and dark, I still sound cute.
mom phones hip-hop
I felt like hip-hop was my music, it was like my outsider music... but then my mom started answering our phone, 'Yo, what's up.' She was hearing me talk to my friends. I was like, 'No, mom, don't cop the hip-hop talk.
song love-you writing
I think I have a hard time expressing myself in my relationships. I use songs to tell people how I'm feeling. If I can't say 'I love you,' I'll write a song about it and hope that the person figures it out.
bass demo drum garage manage songs
I demo all of my songs on Garage Band, where I pretty much play everything - not very well, but I manage to hammer out a drum beat and a bass idea.
I come from a very uncool profession: being a washed up child actor.
great park
I can parallel park pretty well - I'm a great driver.
computers digital pro records tools
I am a child of digital generation. I have done most of the records with Rilo Kiley on computers, on Pro Tools or other digital programs.
anyone music
I don't write songs, play music and tour, really, for anyone else but myself. It's something that I have to do to stay alive.
interview learn lessons
I learn lessons with every interview I give.
directly front
I like babies, but not in the front row. I don't want to sing directly to a baby.
los pants record themes wore
In the past, like for the last Rilo Kiley record, 'Under the Blacklight,' I wore exclusively hot pants because the themes in that record were the underbelly of Los Angeles.
I'm not a religious person by any means. But I'm curious.
