Being my dad's daughter has allowed me to do a lot of things that maybe another artist might not be able to do or wouldn't be necessarily embraced doing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My father didn't think being an artist was a respectable or worthy goal for a man.
People said, 'How could you walk away from music?' But being a dad - there's nothing that can touch that.
My father was a professional artist all his life who encouraged my path as an artist.
I grew up with an artist father, and my parents' friends were also mainly artists or writers, so he connects what I do with his example.
I just feel like everyone and their mother thinks they can be an artist. You can't. Sorry. I know I was born to be one.
I never stop being a mother and I never stop being an artist. You understand? Which is probably why my kids are so creative, because it's not separated.
I think the hardest thing about making music now is being a great dad at the same time. There's an insanity that goes with writing - a mad scientist thing that you have to go through - and sacrificing a kid's upbringing to do that is not an option.
To stay true to your art is such a complicated journey, and Dad clearly has done it.
I'm an artist, and I go in the studio and make my music. And then I'll give it to my dad and he does what he does. And he does, you know, the press, and figuring out shows and whatnot. When it comes to my artistic freedom, he doesn't, like, step on my toes or anything.
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
