In The Argonauts, Maggie Nelson turns 'making the personal public' into a romantic, intellectual wet dream. A gorgeous book, inventive, fearless, and full of heart.

Fashion, at modern time, was actually a way for women to go out in the world. There was one painting of a woman sitting at a café, drinking a beer by herself and kind of pretending to read but really watching people, that sort of thing. It fascinated me.

It's hard to write about a love story with a broken heart.

It's really hard for me to sing and play bass.

When Punk Rock happened, it created an opening in the culture... it made it ok to think you could play music, even though you had no musical training.

And then, I was thinking of doing a record just like starting with voice, because I did this one song that was just kind of a cappella, and I did it for this art piece I did where people could come and play music to go with a voice.

I really like Olivier Assayas filmmaking. He always has this global - economy thing going on.
