Everything is so chaotic and messy in the world, and I have always felt kind of dirty.
MITSKIEverything is so chaotic and messy in the world, and I have always felt kind of dirty.
MITSKIWhenever someone says they like something about my music.
MITSKIIf I have a song where I hit some really high notes, I want to try to bring in equivalently low notes somewhere in there.
MITSKII really like The Cars. They’re just so over the top and super pop, but I don’t feel guilty. I’m proud of all the music I listen to.
MITSKII created this ‘ideal America.’ Finally I came to the U.S. and realised, ‘Oh, I don’t belong here, either.’
MITSKII think growing up the way I did has made me a lot more objective, and that’s important in the process of writing and trying to look at subjective matter that way.
MITSKIAll I want to do at karaoke is sing Mariah Carey.
MITSKII tend to kind of try to use what’s in my environment to the best of my ability rather than seek out things that I don’t already have.
MITSKIWhen you’re young is the one time when you get to indulge in being morose and take yourself most seriously.
MITSKII think it’s very dangerous as an artist to be comfortable.
MITSKII couldn’t wait to get out of school, but once I did, I didn’t actually know what I wanted to do with myself. I don’t really know how it happened, but I just started writing music and realized that’s what I wanted to do.
MITSKII have my privileges, but I do feel like at every turn there is such resistance.
MITSKIThings seem to take so much longer for me to do. I have to say things 10 times instead of once. I have to knock on 10 different doors instead of two. For everything.
MITSKIThe whole ‘grunge-girl’ comparisons certainly are the easiest to pick out, and I appreciate that music journalists are rushed.
MITSKII think what’s hard for me is not that I don’t get downtime to chill, it’s that I don’t get time to make music.
MITSKIMusic was the one thing that was just mine, and no one could take it from me. I created it, dictated it, and it made me not able to let go of it.
