What I value most in new music today is strangeness, oddity. Passion. And humor. I listen to a lot of hip-hop because it combines so many things like that.

I like to take things incrementally, and strive for something that feels more attainable.

I don't think I would live outside of the Northwest. I think the quality of life in Portland is really good. People move from intense, high-powered jobs, and move to Portland, work half as much and live twice as good. They can afford bigger houses, or they can actually afford to buy a house, they can work the minimal amount and still get by. I think there's a really strong sense of community there. It's beautiful.

I will say, as a woman, when you put a mustache on, you find out a lot of things about yourself.

I've realized that I have a lot of different loves, and I want to pursue writing, but I can never divorce myself from music.

It's hard to beat the visceral high of playing live and creating something spontaneous.

I feel like I came in comedy's side door, and still feel very fraudulent in many ways.
