I don't have the inclinations that other people seem to have as far as the business is concerned.
From Kristin Hersh
I felt like it was a great secret when I found out that I could be in my 30s.
I grew up in a commune where no one considered me female, particularly.
I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.
I have to play as much of the game as I allow myself to get the music heard. But it's not unlike the rest of the world, so I'm not as up in arms about it as I could be.
I would go to radio stations and they were supposed to be interviewing me and playing my record and they would say, We're playing too many women right now, we can't play your record.
If you're the band leader you ask more of yourself than anyone else, so they tend to raise the bar for me.
Most of the younger people I knew didn't seem to have a handle on things; they hadn't found their place, they didn't understand how the world works, they didn't understand how to treat other people, and they didn't know how to stop thinking about themselves.
MP3's are perfect.
My parents didn't treat me as if there was anything in the world I couldn't do, except be unkind.
