I can’t read in a car, because I’ll get sick. It’s almost instant.
MITSKII can’t read in a car, because I’ll get sick. It’s almost instant.
MITSKIYou can be heartbroken about a relationship but also, from it, realize you are you, and you’re okay with who you are or where you came from.
MITSKIThen you start to realise, ‘Oh, I’m bending a lot,’ and they’re just standing there existing, and I’m bending around them. But you can’t blame them: they don’t realise it; that’s just how they already existed. It’s hard.
MITSKIIt would actually feel forced or unnatural to try to do a different singing style or to try to change my sound completely.
MITSKII’m not an innovator.
MITSKII’d always been fascinated by death, which sounds so morbid. Especially being a woman trying to make music, I think there’s a sense that you’re never young enough, or your career is going to end soon.
MITSKIWhen I started making music, I was like, ‘This is something I can believe I was meant to do.’
MITSKIPop artists work really hard, and they might not work for the same things that indie artists do, but they’re still musicians, and they’re still making art.
MITSKIOn one hand, I think it’s very important to talk about race and talk about gender, because if it’s not talked about, then we won’t progress.
MITSKIIt’s nice to know there’s a big world with many perspectives. I tend to get so stuck in my own small world easily, and going out into the world reminds me that I’m not the center of the world – in a good way.
MITSKITour isn’t good for writing, but it’s good for inspiration.
MITSKIYou can never learn enough about music.
MITSKIAll the time. I feel like I’m not taken seriously.
MITSKII think it’s our responsibility as artists to not only fight for our art but fight for the communities that are the reason we’re able to continue making art, especially since, in Brooklyn’s case, we as artists somehow made it ‘cool’ enough for the bigger money-making industries to start taking over.
MITSKIWhen someone is a musician – trying to make a living off being a public figure – it’s really easy for people to see me as a face on a screen that doesn’t have a personal life.
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.
