“The sound of his voice reminds me that I am a mother and mothers don't have the luxury of falling apart in front of their children, even when they are afraid, even when their children are adults.”

“A certain kind of exhaustion sets in from having to constantly explain and justify one’s existence or participation in an artistic or creative realm.

The people who get there early have to work the hardest.”
― Carrie Brownstein, Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl
