I have to remember the good people in the world outnumber the bad people. I think when you start to feel frustrated or you have no hope left in humanity or whatever, you've got to just remember that there are people out there who are working incredibly hard to get a positive message across.
Bethany CosentinoThere are a shitload of songs about being in love with someone who doesn't love you back and I talk about weed and my cat and being lazy a lot.
Bethany CosentinoMaking music can sometimes make me a bit restless, so it's fun when I get to be expressive in another way.
Bethany CosentinoI was never really that great at sewing, but I had a good idea of what I wanted things to look like.
Bethany CosentinoI'm really proud to be a woman making music. Nothing makes me happier than when other women approach me at shows and say, "You've inspired me to start writing music," or, "I feel like we could be best friends." Music is a male-dominated business, so it's nice to see bands with girls in them, and not just a bunch of dudes with beards in flannel shirts.
Bethany CosentinoI have personally been affected by women's reproductive health issues, and I will continue to support that cause and spread awareness about it.
Bethany CosentinoI feel like talking to people who don't tour, when you talk about touring - obviously we're super blessed and very lucky to be doing what we do - but there are so many weird things that could never happen anywhere else. When I talk to people who don't tour they look at me like I'm being bratty and complaining about this job that I have. It's not that! It's the fact that when I'm home I can exercise every day, I can cook myself good meals, then when I'm on the road for a long time it's like, "There's a Subway. I guess I'm eating a bowl full of lettuce because I don't eat McDonalds."
