love trying
It's about the journey and the process. I do things because I love doing them, or trying them.
art impact trying
I probably had some impact, because everyone keeps telling me that I did. I like to feel like I'm coming out with something to try to make room for other young women to make their art.
trying like-you living-my-life
I am just like you and everyone else. I am trying to live my life as best I can.
thinking self trying
I was trying to break out of the suburbs, and when I did break out, I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.
art trying performance-art
I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.
regret thinking trying
I don't think anything I do in life is planned. Sometimes I regret that and I feel like I try to take ahold of the wheel, but I'm also always super excited when things pop up spontaneously and when I'm a little bit out of my depth. I just find that that thrills me.
two unhappy trying
Just to prove i was right that it's harder to be friends than lovers and you shouldn't try and mix the two, cause if you do and then you're still unhappy, then you know that the problem is you.
enjoying life playing wants
Everyone wants to get into soundtracks. Everyone wants to do songs here and there. But, I think they want it for different reasons. I think I'm just tumbling through my life, enjoying playing with everybody.
women
There's nothing wrong at all with women wanting to be women.
My career has been riddled with controversy, which I never fully understand.
I think I write songs because of pent-up feelings.
guys hear reveal stuff wanna women
Guys don't really don't wanna hear if it's really smart, and women feel uncomfortable if you reveal stuff they're going to have to remember they did themselves.
ended life music people songs stopped
I ended up becoming so self-conscious that my songs stopped being about my life and started being about what people thought of my music. And that was really bad.
firm talking
No firm plans, ... But we're all talking about it.
