I Think As A Culture, We Don't

Clearly, Gay Marriage Is On The Top Of The Agenda Right Now. It's Pretty Amazing, Considering Where Stuff Was At When I Was In High-school, When There Were No Lgbt Gay-straight Alliances Or Any Of That Stuff. Am I A Huge Lady Gaga Fan? No, But I Think Some Of The Stuff She Does That Helps Lgbt Kids Is Amazing. And It's Great That That's Mainstream. It's Fantastic That There's A Pop Star Who's Willing To Put Herself Out In That Way.

A Lot Of Artists Are Just Really Stupid About Money, And It's Really Hard To Find Somebody Who Kind Of Thinks Of Shuffling Money Around And Doing Business As An Art.

I Like Loud Snare, And I Like Really Treble-y Guitars, And That's Just Never Going To Change.

Most Of My Records Are Never Going To Be Commercial Successes, And I Don't Expect That. It's Just All A Learning Process To Me. If Something Appears As A Failure, Fine. If There's Success, Fine. I Like The Record, And My Friends Like The Record, And That's Kind Of All I Can Really Care About.

When You Speak Up About Any Sense Of Unfairness Or Injustice, You're Told That You're Overreacting, You're Too Angry, Too Silly-shut Up Already. It Takes A Tremendous Amount Of Fortitude To Be Able To Live In This World As A Woman, Let Alone A Woman Who Wants Things To Change.
