“Often I've had problems automatically bending to a lover's will, becoming what I…” — Mitski

If I have a song where I hit some really high notes, I want to try to bring in equivalently low notes somewhere in there.

I can't read in a car, because I'll get sick. It's almost instant.

It's very tempting, when somebody says they like this about you, to want to do that over and over.

I try to be regimented and try to stay healthy and work out and eat properly and go to sleep. And not get too caught up in the industry in my regular life, so I can save all my expression and energy for my art.
