specific trying
I'm not trying to repeat myself or cater myself to one specific group of people.
takes
I think it's always an adjustment for me, but I do feel like, ultimately, I can kind of write anywhere. It just takes a second to get back in to the groove.
guess hard love time tried
I've always tried to get around writing love songs, I guess because I've always had a hard time saying, 'I love you.'
band rock trust
You wouldn't want to be in a rock band - trust me.
door possibly shut
I would never say anything's over forever. How could you possibly know how you feel? How could you shut the door on anything?
buying closet constant cycle donate feels selling twice
I am in a constant cycle of selling my clothes at Wasteland and buying from Goodwill. Once or twice a year, I go through my closet and donate everything to Goodwill. It feels like I am recycling my fashion.
song kind
Whenever I have a bunch of tunes written, I always find a kind of uniform that accompanies the songs.
song real writing
I'm removed in my real life, and unable to express certain things face to face. So I have always found myself in this fantasy world. That's why I started writing songs and stories from a very young age. I'd much rather walk around anonymously cooking up tales than face the people that I have known forever.
love supposed
I don't feel unlucky in love anymore, and it's not all emo. It's a scary place to be in when you're like: 'What am I supposed to write about now? I don't feel heartbroken, so now what?'
ahead bright itself life rough seems within
Sometimes things feel hopeless. Not always within my own life - but looking outward, it seems like rough times lie ahead of us. The world seems to be kind of caving in on itself in a lot of ways. But I try to look on the bright side.
became formative hip listened outside records roll songs
My mother's records were formative for me, but when I became a teenager, I wanted to find songs that she wasn't hip to. She was so hip, though, that I had to go outside rock n' roll - so for about 10 years, I only listened to hip-hop, house and techno.
feeling gone good start
It's a good way to start the tour. Now that we know something has gone wrong, we're feeling optimistic.
love record
I love 'Wowee Zowee.' That was the first Pavement record I bought.
funny hands jewish los people shows
Sometimes people come to my shows and think I'm a Christian artist, and they put their hands up in the air, like they do. But first of all, I'm a Jewish girl from the Valley, and I'm from Los Angeles. It's funny to be misinterpreted.
