My career started to include feminism from Day 1, which I think was in 2012. That was when I worked with Grimes and I put out my first three videos. Being a woman and being raised in a family with all brothers and being treated differently than them and seeing that they got a lot more than I did growing up was hard. They received a lot more attention, they got more material possessions. And as a woman, it’s innate within your DNA, it’s a cellular response… we’re all just kind of angry. So, it was very organic to be that feminist from the start which started a long time ago. I’m getting fucking old. Not really I’m still in my ‘20s but it just feels like… fuck!

I have a tiny obsession with duality but it’s more of a realization that without diving into the depths of our despair and darkness, we will never really understand what bliss is. Though I think we need to comprehend balance and duality is essentially balance. Without a darkness, you don’t have light. Duality is a human condition because we are given two choices, but I think we are given more than two choices. I think there’s a grey area we can exist in. Things don’t have to be dark or light. You obviously need one to discover the other but maybe there’s a like a third, like a neutral space and maybe that’s where we all need to be existing and that’s a way we can elevate consciousness on the planet and get us out of this fucking end-of-the-roman-empire-fucking-dark-age-Donald-Trump-piece-of-shit-no-culture-no-fucking-care-no-empathy-desentisized-fucked-up world.
