I do so hate to be forced to be anything than other than what I am.

I've got my laptop, but it troubles me in many ways. I don't have Twitter or Facebook or anything like that. It ruins a romantic idea, which might just be an illusion, a sense of depth or continuity. I know there are lots of positives in the evolution of technology, but I also think it will be responsible for the end of a unique character, of a specific kind of geographical culture. The world is getting so small, and mass production is getting so big. Everything is in danger of becoming the same.

I do so hate to be forced to be anything than other than what I am.

I'd like to make music for as long as I can; it feels like something I need to do.

Oh! To not need cognitive justification for every single thing. Wouldn't that be a life?

One woman I interviewed, Amanda Ghost, said, "Let's not bullshit, there are no women at the top of the music business, and that is a serious problem." And I said, "Yes!" And I didn't shy away from saying that. But I still don't want to be in the firing line. I'm not clever or witty or brave enough to get into the political nitty-gritty with it.

I think I'll feel out of place wherever I go on earth, forever. But that's fine. I have to make my peace with that.
