I Hate Being Ignored.

I Think The Thing You're Seeing Now With The Music Industry Is That The People Who Have Tight-knit Communities Are Now Able To Really Hold Each Other Up Because Of The Internet Tools. And The Really Top-down Pyramid Scheme Of Major Labels And Typical Superstars Isn't Sustainable Anymore Because The System Has Collapsed.

You Tour And You Work Hard And You Take Care Of Your Fans And Very Real Things Lead To Other Real Things. There's Never Been Some Fantastic Fluke Or Break In My Career, It Has All Been Very Slow And Steady.

It Is Terrifying To People When Women Step Up And Start Owning The Story That They Have Not Owned. And I'm Seeing So Much Of This, And It Is A Seismic Shift.

The Cool Thing Too, As You Get Older, You Get Way Better At Identifying Who's An Ally And Who Isn't. And Who Has Good, Positive, "let's Make All This Sh*t Better And Let's Try To Have Fun And Fix Sh*t" People As Opposed To "let's Sit Around And B*tch And Berate" People.

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.
