crowd girls hopefully impact maybe music prove trying women work
For me personally, I just try to prove myself in my work. I'm just trying to get better at what I do, and hopefully that will impact women in music, and hopefully the girls in the crowd will see my up there as a bandleader and think, 'Wow, maybe I can do that one day.'
bad beats glass hop morning room three trip
You can find me at three in the morning in my living room with a glass of wine and really bad '90s trip hop beats blaring from my headphones.
aside bit cynical elements expression god hope putting realize references sort surprised thinking
I was kind of surprised after making the record, like, 'Wow, there are a lot of god references here!' I didn't realize I was thinking about that so much. There are a lot of cynical elements to these songs, and there's sort of the expression of dissatisfaction ? but not without hope at the end. It's about putting all that aside and having a little bit of faith.
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.
I'm not a religious person by any means. But I'm curious.
I'm not always as disciplined as I should be. I don't sit down and write every day, but I should.
almost best shows
The best shows I play, I almost don't even remember off the stage.
freedom hundred solo sound true whatever wherever
That is the true joy of being a solo artist. I can do whatever I want. I can go wherever I want. I can show up with my guitar and my song, and it can sound a hundred different ways. That's the freedom of being on your own. The flipside is: That's you on the cover. If it sucks, it's your fault.
I was a big fan of 'Days of Our Lives' growing up.
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.
love record
I love 'Wowee Zowee.' That was the first Pavement record I bought.
love songs time
I love kids, but there's always time for them later. You can always adopt; you can have a puppy. The songs are my children.
I'm more in the Stones camp than the Beatles camp.
