I’ve never understood people who play up the artifice of music Picture Quote #1

For film and television, it’s interesting how fans feel that their particular ways of manifesting their affections are the correct ones. It’s not just about being a fan, it’s about how you perform your fandom. That’s always been interesting to me Picture Quote #1

For a while I had somebody that came to clean my house that turned out to be in a band that I really loved Picture Quote #1

I feel like I came in comedy’s side door, and still feel very fraudulent in many ways Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to beat the visceral high of playing live and creating something spontaneous Picture Quote #1

Music has always been my constant, my salvation. It’s cliche to write that, but it’s true Picture Quote #1

Over the years, music put a weapon in my hand and words in my mouth it backed me up and shielded me, it shook me and scared me and showed me the way; music opened me up to living and being and feeling Picture Quote #1

Rihanna has guts and she always seems to be singing from someplace honest, dark and fierce Picture Quote #1

You can never underestimate that moment of somebody explaining your life to you, something you thought was inexplicable, through music. That was the way out of loneliness Picture Quote #1

As a kid, before I got into music, I did all the drama classes, went to theater camp in the summers, so it wasn’t totally a foreign world Picture Quote #1

I was always drawn to performing. I took improv and acting classes during the summers and was involved in middle and high school plays. But when I discovered indie and punk music in high school, those things sort of took over Picture Quote #1

To really be tortured by a song, it needs to be more than just something you don’t like or don’t get; it has to make your skin crawl by getting under it. Strangely, that last clause could describe provocative or daring music, as well Picture Quote #1

I am a horrible visual artist. I can’t fix a car, sew, knit, cook, etc. Statistically, there is more I don’t do than do Picture Quote #1
