“I guess part of my ambivalence about pursuing music as well as acting is that acting is already one of the most difficult careers to create for yourself, I must be insane to embark on creating two careers in two of the most difficult fields. But I have really different ambitions with music; I just want to stay in love with music. I want it to continue to be a means of expression for me that feels like it's mine, and something that feels community-based.” WantFeelsWellsMeanTwoDifferentDifficultCommunityActingCareersFieldsMinesExpressionAmbitionCreatingInsaneAmbivalence Author:Lola Kirke

“If you're not an actor, or if you're any other kind of artist, there's this sense that, "I must express this thing." Why make a painting if you don't feel like you have to for something inside of yourself? Why make a song if you don't feel like you have to because there's something that you need to get out? And when you're an actor and you're not performing text that you've written, I think there's this bizarre disconnect with the must-ness of it.” IfsThinkingNeedsFeelsKindArtistSongActorsWrittenPaintingLike YouPerformingBizarre Author:Lola Kirke
