I've been around for a very long time, I've been around since God had baby cheeks.
I get in fights with my sister all the time. She comes on the road with me and we fight - like sisters do.
I can't wait to get on stage, because there you don't worry about whether you'll ever get married because your life is insane, or whether you'll ever have another boyfriend again, you don't worry about the typical boundaries of how your life has to be.
I was always that girl growing up who you could find dancing down supermarket aisles. It's that sense of not feeling inhibited. Dancing in supermarkets is my favorite thing.
I tend to lose myself in the moment. I’m not very good at holding back. I don’t know how to do this without feeling everything. My emotions are the tool I use to perform.
I can't ever seem to shake the feeling that when things are really good it essentially means that things are going to go really bad. When I feel calm and settled, there is always an underlying feeling of impending doom. . . I don't think that it's healthy.
A lot of the songs on the new album are about imaginary things, things that you can't touch - ghosts and rumors, my dead grandmother, things visiting you in a dream.
When I'm scared - and I'm always scared when I have to face an audience, when I have to read a review, when I publish a book. . . then, I think of my grandfather. My grandfather was this strong, tough Basque who would never bend. . . . What would he do? Well, he would go ahead, close his eyes, and drive forward. You do it and the spirit that is within you. . . . is there.
But what if God himself can be simulated, that is to say can be reduced to signs that constitute faith? Then the whole system becomes weightless, it is no longer anything but a gigantic simulacrum - not unreal, but simulacrum, that is to say never exchanged for the real, but exchanged for itself, in an uninterrupted circuit without reference or circumference.
I think it will get moving faster. I mean once you get it off the - once credit flows - now the recession is going to get worse.
The world is perfect. As you question your mind, this becomes more and more obvious.
