I'm A Very Binary Person

Most Of My Records Are Never Going To Be Commercial Successes, And I Don't Expect That. It's Just All A Learning Process To Me. If Something Appears As A Failure, Fine. If There's Success, Fine. I Like The Record, And My Friends Like The Record, And That's Kind Of All I Can Really Care About.

The Idea That Musicians/artists Have A Responsibility To Be Community Leaders Or "role Models" Is Problematic To Me Because I Really Believe That Some Of The Most Exciting Art Is Not Community-minded At Least In Any Obvious Or Direct Way, Which Is Not To Say That It Is Not Ethical Or Consciousness-changing.

We Support Hillary [clinton]. We're Saying That Strongly. "i'm With Her," I Don't Think That We Can Be Any Less Strident. She's The Best Person For The Job.

I Felt Like Going Out On The Road And Mixing It With Music - Which Is Something Young People Are Always Really Interested In - Would Be A Good Way To Proselytize. It Was Like Feminist Evangelism.

I'm Totally Into Taylor Swift. I Think She Has Super-clever Lyrics, And I Love That She Writes Her Own Music. Some Of The Themes She Writes About Are Stuff I Wish Was There For Me When I Was In High School, And I'm So Happy She Really Cares About Her Female Fans. She's Not Catering To A Male Audience And Is Writing Music For Other Girls.
