“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

They're not there because they're passionate about what you do necessarily.” WantKindHomeFilmActingAudienceWifePaidPassionateDinnerInteractionVacuumsDisinterestedFilm Set Author:Lola Kirke

I decided, "Okay, I just want to actually be here, how can I make this be interesting for me?"” WayWantMomentsFilmInterestingSawsTvsComfortableDecidedOkayFilm SetReally Sad Author:Lola Kirke
