But when they decide not to listen to my work, I have to live with what I've made. And I've finally made something I totally love. Something I feel represents me as the pit stinking slime boy I am."

"I'm nonbinary, so I don't identify as female, but being in an industry where I seem female, there's definitely an issue with it being harder for women, because it's a mostly male-dominated industry, and especially if you start out young, and people are like 'I've been doing this thirty years, you need to do this, you can do what you like in four albums' time once you've done what we tell you to get to a certain place', and it's so hard because I just want to make music and art...."
