I Used To Get A Shiver If

I Want To Be Able To Do Whatever I Feel Like Doing And Not Worry About Anything. Even When I Was A Kid, The Only Contemporary Artist I Listened To Was Cyndi Lauper.

I Have A Very Steadfast Tendency To Parent Myself, To Monitor My Development Into The Person I Want To Be. I've Tried To Keep The Corruption Minimal.

I Think I'm Better At Live Shows Than I Used To Be Because I'm Way More Comfortable With The Uncomfortable Pauses Between Songs. Now, Rather Than Trying To Talk Or Do A Costume Change, I'll Use Those Moments For Myself. I Listen To What Other People Are Playing, Or Just Rest, Or Dance, Even Though I Don't Know How To.

I Don't Want To Give Any Advice To A 19-year-old, Because I Want A 19-year-old To Make Mistakes And Learn From Them. Make Mistakes, Make Mistakes, Make Mistakes. Just Make Sure They're Your Mistakes.

I'd Say That I've Been Reclusive The Last 34 Years. That Was My Big Thing As A Kid, Staying Home From School. I've Trained Myself To Be Psychosomatically Sick A Lot. Anytime I Go Out, It Is Just Something To Deal With, Even Walking To The Grocery Store. If I'm Supposed To Go From One Place To Another Place That Isn't That Comfortable, I Usually Don't Go.
