Charity is a naked child, giving honey to a bee without wings.
I always make music that's reflective of the mindset I'm in at the time, and how I'm feeling.
It's amazing. Being clearheaded for a show, for starters. Not being reflux-y because of the amount of beer you've drunk.
I'm still always a country girl from New Zealand.
I do enjoy a beer. And a shot of vodka with some apple juice is what loosens me up before I go onstage, because I get really nervous. I wish I could say it was something more healthy, like Pilates.
I wear non-gender-specific clothes. I just look silly in girls' clothes. I'm quite tall, and they're never the right cut for me - T-shirts and stuff are always too low-cut or too short. I've worn boys' clothes forever because girls' stuff never felt right for me.
I'm more of a whiz on the guitar and drums. I hear certain sounds in my head, and I find it easy to translate them into synth sounds, but I'm not really technically-minded.
Even now; with a thousand little voyages notched in my belt. I still feel a memorial chill on casting off.
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
How can I adopt a creed which, preferring the mud to the fish, exalts the boorish proletariat above the bourgeois and the intelligentsia who, with whatever faults, are the quality in life and surely carry the seeds of all human advancement?
I always get sort of an image of what the character is gonna look like and then I kind of go with it.
