I Always Felt That The Most Common

I Think One Of The Reasons I Haven't Been Doing Music Is Because I Think That Some Of My Performance, Like, Needs Are Being Taken Care Of In Other Mediums.

With Sleater-kinney, We Did A Lot Of Improvisation In Our Live Shows, And Even Our Process Of Songwriting Involved Bringing In Disparate Parts And Putting Them Together To Form Something Cohesive.

I Think It's Very Disheartening And Undermining To Focus On Nostalgia Or Youthful Sentimentality As The Lens Through Which You View Art And Culture, Because Then You Feel Like Everything Good Already Happened. I Really Just Try To Be In The Present With Music And Just Find The Things That Are Invigorating And Make Me Feel Happy To Be Alive Right Now.

I Would Love To Do A Reunion Tour If It Only Involved Basements Across The U.s.

There Was This Kind Of Wackiness That Was Really Embraced And Put On A Pedestal. It Was Before The Millennium. We Were Envisioning A Future That Was Mostly Idealistic. I Think That Came Crashing Down A Little Bit In 9/11, Or A Lot. There Is Something About Portland That Does Seem To Still Exist In This Total Idealistic World And Total Idealistic Mind Frame, And I Think That's What Dream Of The '90s Is Talking About.
