I Don't Go To Shows Because I Just Want To Listen To The Music Performed Live. I Want To Get To Know The Person Who's Performing It. Or I Want To, Like, Take Away A Sense That I Had An Experience That Nobody Else Is Going To Have Again, Or A Unique Experience For That Moment.

I'm Gonna Live Like Tomorrow Doesn't Exist.

I Get To Sit At Home With The Dogs On The Sofa, Record In A Closet In The Office, Send Them Off And, If I'm Lucky, Make A Million Dollars.

When People Say, "show Your Face, You're Not Ugly." I Want To Say, "i Know. I'm Not Doing It Because I Think I'm Ugly; I'm Trying To Have Some Control Over My Image. And I'm Allowed To Maintain Some Modicum Of Privacy. But Also I'd Like Not To Be Picked Apart Or For People To Observe When I Put On Ten Pounds Or I Have A Hair Extension Out Of Place." Most People Don't Have To Be Under That Pressure, And I'd Like To Be One Of Them. I Don't Go On Twitter. Because When People Say Things Like, I Don't Know, "i Hope You Get Cancer And Die," It Hurts My Feelings.

People Aren't Honest About The Horrors Of Fame. The Downsides Are So Overwhelming That, For Me, There Is No Payoff.
