I Hate Being Ignored.

One Thing About Being A Performer Is You're Not Just Doing An Intellectual Job Behind A Desk; You're Out There Performing And Being Looked At, Being Assessed For Really Superficial Stuff.

I've Watched So Many Women, From Kathleen Hanna All The Way Up To Taylor Swift, Whether They're Pop Artists Or Rock Stars Or Fine Artists Or Writers, It Is The Subhistory Of Female Artists That If You're Going To Make Art, You're Also Going To Have A Full-time Job Of Defending Your Right To Make Art.

Collecting The Dots. Then Connecting Them. And Then Sharing The Connections With Those Around You. This Is How A Creative Human Works. Collecting, Connecting, Sharing.

I Suppose I'm Happy To Sell My Time And Energy, But I'm Not Happy To Sell My Initial Creative Time.

I Had Very Literal Parents And I Wanted To Survive With Metaphor And Art, And There Was A Real Sense Of Shame Around It.
