People Are Wearing Fleece, Which Is A

I've Realized That I Have A Lot Of Different Loves, And I Want To Pursue Writing, But I Can Never Divorce Myself From Music.

It Wasn't Just Like, "i Want To Make A Record That Sounds Like Classic Rock" At All. It Was More Like, "i Want To Make A Record That Is A Little More Unsettling And Maybe Isn't As Easily Understood Now." That Just Seemed More Important, Like, For Me To Make As An Artist, Than It Was To Make Something To Make People Feel Safe Right Away.

It's Very Common To Think That We're Always Evolving, That We've Changed So Much From Our Younger Selves, That Within Decades We've Transformed Into These Different People. We Like To Think That. I Feel In Some Ways That I Am Still So Much My Younger Self. There Are Ways That I'm Different: I Feel Like I'm Wiser And Kinder. But I Think A Lot Of The Impulses Are Still The Same. I Learned That.

I Think Grief Is A Step Towards Strength Because It Allows You To Be Porous And Take Everything In, And Have It Transform You. What Will Sit Within You Is Despairing, But At Least It's Feeling. You're Not Numb. Grief Is Sort Of The Allowance Of Feeling.

With Portlandia, I Don't Think Our Intention Is Always To Find Something Funny. Sometimes The Humor Comes From Taking Something Really Seriously. We're Okay With Making Somebody Feel Uncomfortable Or Uneasy.
