Collecting The Dots. Then Connecting

I Never Wanted To Grow A Thicker Skin; I Felt A Real Sense Of Pride In My Thin Skin, And In A Weird Way, I Still Do, Because It's My Thin Skin That Allows Me To Empathize With Other People. It's The Thing That Allows Me To Create Vulnerable Art. It's The Thing That Allows Me To Create Other Feelings And Make Songs That Actually Grab People And Touch People. I Feel Like I've Spent My Life Fighting That Thicker Skin Because I Don't Want To Become An Embittered Asshole.

I Feel That Part Of My Life's Artwork Is Creatively Dealing With All This Negativity And Anger And Rage And Hatred Coming From Whatever Corners It's Coming From And Somehow Manifesting All Of That Anger Into Something Positive, Which Is Such A Hard Job.

The Perfect Tools Aren't Going To Help Us If We Can't Face Each Other And Give And Receive Fearlessly, But More Important, To Ask Without Shame.

I Think Performance Art Comes From A Simple Place Of Wanting To Express Things Beyond Just Sound.

In Other Words, Let's Give Our Young Women The Right Weapons To Fight With As They Charge Naked Into Battle, Instead Of Ordering Them To Get Back In The House And Put Some Goddamn Clothes On.
