I Think Performance Art Comes

Comparing Yourself To The People Like You, Comparing Yourself To The People Who Aren't Like You, Looking At How Many Records You've Sold, Looking At The Venue Size You're Selling Out. None Of That Can Even Remotely Measure How Happy You Are.

How You Sound. How You Look. Are You Fat? Those Are Things That Could Be Really Irritating.

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.

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.

I Don't Think Of Myself As Particularly Cursed Or Blessed. I Think I Got Dealt A Set Of Cards, And I'm Playing With Them, Sometimes In Heels, Sometimes In Combat Boots.
