I've Always Been Like, "look,

My Vision Of Punk Rock Was These Dudes Who Were Spitting On The Audience And Moshing. That's Why I Kind Of Left That Scene. Then I See All These People Around My Same Age Or Between 17 And 25 That Were Making Music Themselves In Their Own Town. They Weren't Just Singing, But Creating. I See Them Putting Out This Music Where There Are Tons Of Women Involved In The Scene And Involved In The Bands.

If I Were A Supervillain, I Would End Capitalism, Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, Transphobia... But I Guess That's A Little Too Obvious And Not Villain-y Enough. Because That's Actually Being A Superhero. I Would Break Down Poverty With My Machete; I Would End World Hunger.

My Illness Has Changed Me - I've Always Thought "life Is Short And I Wanna Make As Much Of It As I Can," But I Really Don't Have Time To Mess Around. This Has Really Been A Wake-up Call In Terms Of What's Important, And I'm Working Hard To Figure That Out. I Need To Get Better At Not Doing Favors For People All The Time. It's Hard Because There's So Many People Who Have Helped Me Get To The Point Where I'm In A Band That People Wanna Come See, Or Where People Pay Money To See Me Lecture.

I Am Such A Bossy Producer And Such A Control Freak That There's A Part Of Me That Really Longs To Be Bossed Around.
