art pain mean
I think good art happens on that edge between comfortable and in a lot of pain, you know what I mean?
people records feels
I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.
being-yourself feminist get-away
I am a feminist, and I define myself: Be yourself, because if you can get away with it, that is the ultimate feminist act.
way gains used
I don't have the same access or time to gain access to music the way I used to.
thinking creative challenges
You're really creative when you're in an environment that you don't know how to handle. So collaborating was like that for me. I think that was one of the reasons why I knew I was gonna get a challenging reaction.
mom phases proud
I'm really happy to be a mom, and I'm proud of the phase I'm in.
jobs son age
I've lost touch with a lot of that boutique-type music just because of my age, and raising my son and the multiple jobs I have at this point.
blue rock-and-roll rocks
It was a source of shame for my family that I was in rock and roll, which is so blue-collar. It just isn't done. And I felt it, too.
cds games space
People hang their hopes on you fitting into their CD collection in way that they have made a space for, but I'm playing a longer game than that.
stretching
I love stretching myself musically.
bars remember loud
I remember even getting kicked out of a bar once because I was too loud and obnoxious.
xbox guy knows
I don't know; it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.
nice would-be instinct
I don't always trust my own instincts. It would be nice if someone else would tell me what I should do with my life!
people looks look-at-me
I don't like being approached by people who look at me too intensely, who needed something from me that I didn't have. I don't represent anything.
