My earth is somebody’s ceiling.
I’m of the ilk of writers that feels you have to be open to the inspiration.
I’m grateful to have the chance to be inspired by the incredible artists that are out there.
It’d be a shame to stop now that I’ve started to make really good mistakes.
I think that’s my hope for a lot of the feminist movement is that the gender thing sort of stops being the selling point, if that makes any sense. We’re just people making art, and that’s how this process has felt to me.
I would like to look back on my body of work and be proud of each record in its own right, but as a whole, I want to continue to grow and move forward.
I think I have some anger-management issues, and they end up coming out in these passive-aggressive songs that sound happy.
The most powerful place you can come from is just having a really deep knowing of who you are and what you want for yourself.
You can be amazing, you can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug.
Its so easy to just rip someones work apart.
I never played coffee shops; I just played a lot of coffee shop-sized venues. I took every venue I could get my hands on.
One of the wonderful ways to celebrate women is to hire women.
I used to sing songs from musicals all the time as a kid.
I was a fat girl growing up and had to change schools because kids were so mean.
I would never intentionally want to hurt someone’s feelings.
I work a lot with men, and I work with wonderful men that I absolutely adore, but it’s something that I’m now paying attention to – to seek out and make room for the talented women in all the technical fields and creative fields across the board.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
I think we’re at a really rich and fertile time in the zeitgeist about paying attention to diversity of all kinds – racial diversity, gender diversity, making room for a continuum that is more inclusive.
The theater community at large, I have to say, has just been so warm and so welcoming, and that’s not something I’m as used to.
I have found so much joy and so much pride in contributing and being a team member, and then stepping back and watching someone else get the applause. That has been really satisfying in a way that I wouldn’t have probably imagined.
