Zitat des Tages von Cat Power:
People tend to think I'm insane, and I'm really tired of it.
Nobody considers a covers record an album.
Everybody tends to think I'm crazy, which is the biggest problem in my life.
I don't come from money or an educated family background or any sort of supportive family life, so all of my choices are made on my own.
From folk to tribal to Cab Calloway, Cole Porter, Gershwin to the Rolling Stones, whose first record was all covers, to country-western, bebop, blues, and even the referencing in classic hip hop to cliched love ballads of the '80s or whatever - that is kinda gone, and that's just terrifying to me.
After my second-to-last record, 'The Greatest', I had gone on tour for a while, and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever, or anger toward myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.
I need to be able to face things.
I've always dressed like a dude.
I am human and I make mistakes.
Playing the guitar, you kind of lock into a rhythm and a groove, and then it relaxes me to make up lyrics and sing.
I think the hardest thing about my life is that I've met so many people all over the world who I love, but they're not friends with each other.
