I Wanted To Say To Myself As

My Illness Has Changed Me - I've Always Thought "life Is Short And I Wanna Make As Much Of It As I Can," But I Really Don't Have Time To Mess Around. This Has Really Been A Wake-up Call In Terms Of What's Important, And I'm Working Hard To Figure That Out. I Need To Get Better At Not Doing Favors For People All The Time. It's Hard Because There's So Many People Who Have Helped Me Get To The Point Where I'm In A Band That People Wanna Come See, Or Where People Pay Money To See Me Lecture.

People Have Always Had These Weird Things About How You Have To Be Really Good Looking To Be A Singer.

Every Day It Gets Worse And Worse And Worse. We Just Want To Get Everyone To Vote And Be A Part Of The Noise. I Can't Do Phone Banks Because I Have To Save My Voice For Stage, So The Least I Can Do Is A Song.

Later As Things Progressed And I Saw The Direct Correlation Between Being Able To Keep Making Records And Having People Know About The Music, I Became More Interested In Using Popular Media As A Way To Get The Word Out.

I Don't Need To Convince Men That Feminism Is Important, That Just Isn't A Goal Of Mine. I Can't Even Have That Conversation Of Whether Or Not It's Important, Because If Someone Asks Me That... I Don't Want To Have A Conversation With Them Until They Grow Up.
