Often Real Life Is Boring

I'm Really Interested In, Who's Booked The Guests, Who's Decided To Have Lena Dunham And To Have The Mothers Of Sons Who Were Shot - Sons And Daughters Who Were Shot By The Police And, You Know, The Other Performers, Paul Simon And Alicia Keys.

I Love The Edited Version Of It.

The Line Changed My Life 'cause I Thought Of Some Poor Woman I Hadn't Even Met Walking Around The United States Or The World Not Knowing She's Going To Be Beaten Up By Me And These Kids, Unborn, Not Knowing They Were Going To Be Born Into The Family Of A Child-beater Just Because I Was. So It Really Did Have A Great Effect On Me.

I Know That Everyone Who Listens To Radio Creates You In A Visual Image That They Need You To Have. Whatever That Is, I Thought, Let Them Have It. Let Me Be Who The Listener Needs Me To Be And Let Me Not Contradict That With The Reality Of My Photograph And Risk Disappointing Them.

I Have To Match Wits With The Ads. Like, There's Pop-ups That, Like, Move Around And You Have To Chase Them Like It Was A Video Game Or Something. And Then There's Ads Where, Like, You Know, The X To, Like, Close The Ad Screen Is So Kind Of Small That You Can't Find It And You Have To Actually Go Looking For It. And So I Spend All My Energy - Instead Of, Like, Absorbing What The Advertiser Wants To Communicate To Me, I Spend My Energy Trying To Figure Out How To Defeat The Ad.
