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.
MITSKII have my privileges, but I do feel like at every turn there is such resistance.
MITSKIMaybe this is a made-up belief to preserve myself, but I do believe that everyone has a purpose, and my purpose is to put out music that means something.
MITSKII’m not an innovator.
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.

MITSKII’ve been very careful to always make clear that I am a real person. That’s why I’m on social media a lot.

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.
MITSKIGrowing up, I never really felt like anything was my own. I moved a lot, and I never belonged anywhere.
MITSKITour isn’t good for writing, but it’s good for inspiration.
