When You Cannot Joke About The Darkness

The Challenge In My Life Really Is Keeping The Balance Between Feeling Creatively Energized And Fulfilled Without Feeling Overwhelmed And Like Im In The Middle Of A Battlefield.

When You Really Look Back And Take The Wider Perspective, It Makes Total Sense That If The Status Quo Is To Remain The Way It Is, Women Will Not Be Lauded And Applauded For Bonding With And Helping Each Other, Because It Would Destroy The World Order If Women Organized; It Would Topple The Whole Thing. And So, It Makes Perfect Sense To Me That The Current Order Of Things Would Encourage The Cat Fights And Encourage The Comparisons And Encourage The Girl-on-girl Hate That You See Just Being Promoted Everywhere.

I Draw The Line At Letting People Into My Songwriting Cave. To Me, That's Where The Alchemy Happens And Where The Mystery Is.

There Are So Many People, So Many Artists, So Many Magazines, So Many Theater Companies, So Many People Trying To Raise Money For So Many Things That It's Easy To Look Around And Just Feel Powerless Or Helpless, Because Even If You Have Some Resources, You Can't Help Everybody.

I Feel Like If I Were To Play The Game Completely And Just Get Myself In A Giant Bottle Of Nail Polish And Put Myself On Display, I Would Feel Like I Had Somehow Cosmically Lost. I Feel Like I'm Taking A Bunch Of The Ingredients And Using Some Of Them But Not All Of Them And Shuffling Around And Making People Think I'm Doing My Job.
