The fact that people go to Portland to visit a tiny feminist bookstore-no matter what the impetus is for them getting there-the fact that they go in there and look around and shop for books or stationery or whatever, is a major source of pride for me.

I'm always trying to encourage people not to limit themselves in the same way that many of our parents stayed with one job forever.

Once you're away from music, I realize that's as intrinsic to who I am as anything else. That's the part that takes me out of my brain.
