I don't think of myself as particularly cursed or blessed. I think I got dealt a set of cards, and I'm playing with them, sometimes in heels, sometimes in combat boots.

I'm bisexual, but it's not the sort of thing I spent a lot of time thinking about. I've slept with girls I've slept with guys, so I guess that's what they call it! I'm not anti trying to use language to simplify our lives.

I think the thing you're seeing now with the music industry is that the people who have tight-knit communities are now able to really hold each other up because of the internet tools. And the really top-down pyramid scheme of major labels and typical superstars isn't sustainable anymore because the system has collapsed.
