Lola Kirke quotes about
passionate
Perhaps like attracts like, and that's why I found myself in a circle of women who are so passionate about making music.
i-realized
I realized that I really didn't like the sound of the ukulele so much so I started playing the guitar.
kind
You perform the thing that you made, that's inside of you, and to subject that to any kind of scrutiny is terrifying. It's still terrifying to me.
natural
There's something really natural to me about being what they call in the business a "hyphenate." Being a musician-actor or writer-musician-actor.
artist trying musician
I'm going to be a better actor, or I'm going to try to be a better actor. I'm going to try to be a better musician. I'm going to be an artist instead of just this one thing.
boys work-ethic ethics
I had no kind of work ethic and I always felt that music - especially rock 'n' roll - was a more for boys.
team music-is
Making music is so much more self-motivated. It's my own music. It's my own time. I don't have a team around me that's helped me make everything.
interesting film moments
As soon as I saw myself beginning to be way too comfortable on a film set or TV set, and not stimulated by it the way that I had been that had brought me to want to be there professionally and creatively, was the moment that I started getting really, really sad. I decided, "Okay, I just want to actually be here, how can I make this be interesting for me?"
moving eye college
I guess I was always envious of people who got to move to New York for college because they got to see the city that I, perhaps, was pretty jaded by with new eyes and discover for themselves that Andy Warhol was dead.
song thinking artist
If you're not an actor, or if you're any other kind of artist, there's this sense that, "I must express this thing." Why make a painting if you don't feel like you have to for something inside of yourself? Why make a song if you don't feel like you have to because there's something that you need to get out? And when you're an actor and you're not performing text that you've written, I think there's this bizarre disconnect with the must-ness of it.
song feelings
When I have no idea what to do with how I'm feeling, I generally make a song out of it.
feel-good passionate
Aligning my music with something that feels morally and politically passionate to me feels good.
family
I'm the only one in my family with an American accent.
definitely famous gotten less
I definitely wanted to be famous as a kid, but as I've gotten older, I feel less comfortable with it.
