Nobody Ever Sees Me. Thank

I Firmly Believe In Music Being As Free As Possible. Unlocked. Shared And Spread. In Order For Artists To Survive And Create, Their Audiences Need To Step Up And Directly Support Them.

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.

It's Fine For People To Say, "if You Can't Stand The Heat And If You Can't Stand The Criticism, Then Just Don't Use The Internet"; Unfortunately, That Is Not An Option. The Internet Is Where We Make Our Living And Where We Make Our Work, Especially If We're Independents And We Cannot Afford To Not Engage, Because That's Where Our Business Is Driving From. It's Just Not An Option.

I've Always Felt Like An Outsider Across The Board, Since Day One. The Challenge Has Been To Simply Not Pay Attention To My Outsider Or Insider Status And Just Do The Work And Play The Shows And Connect With The People. And Not Even Bother To Play This Game Of Keeping Score, Which Is What Destroys You.

I Think It's So Important To Have A Practice, Because The Consciousness Isn't Perfection Or Enlightenment Or Any Of That Bullshit. The Consciousness Is, "oh, I'm Walking Down The Street And I'm Doing Nothing."
