I try not to focus on the gender issue too much but I think you have to acknowledge it in order for it to go away.
I've never done gender politics - I think our vote is too important to give away on any single issue.
Setting aside the issue of gender while highlighting the symmetry of bodies seemed indispensable in order to focus on the narrative of human beings in the making.
I try not to be too precious about my writing, and I try to be willing to walk away from it for a few hours when something's not working, to let things percolate a bit. I try not to hide myself away from life too much, because I think that's a risky thing for a writer to do.
It's never too late. Don't focus on what was taken away. Find something to replace it, and acknowledge the blessing you have.
In the match, I just try to focus what I have to do. I try not to think too much about outside things.
Some people think that gender equality is the biggest issue on the table, and to me, that's a privilege to even think that that's the biggest issue, because I am subject to much more inequality.
In a weird way, I think I'm much better at oneshots than longform. So I try to focus on five or six-issue arcs. I have a real fondness for the one-shots because that's where I do my best storytelling.
At the end of the day, you just have to focus on winning. No one can take a win away from you. That's what I focused on. Life is not fair, so I don't go out there expecting it to be. I don't think any of us should go out expecting life to be fair. I think that's expecting too much, and I remind myself of that sometimes. You can get on with your life after that.
I think the sensible thing would be to focus on one thing and be the best you can be at it. There is always that risk of spreading yourself too thin if you try to do too much.
People want you to play the songs they know. I try not to reflect too much, and I don't really like to focus too much on myself.
I try to get as much sleep as possible, moisturize as much as possible and always wash my face before I go to sleep. It's a non-issue. And if I'm too lazy, I'll use makeup-remover pads.
I just try to play with more focus on myself; I don't worry too much about the other things that maybe gave me too much pressure in the past.
As I'm writing a song, I focus on the music and try not to let my mind wander too much, but if I do think of any visual moments or references that I think would connect nicely, I'll make a note of it.
It's an organic thing that I try not to analyze too much, because I worry that it will go away.
I think in times of fear and hysteria in a culture, gender experimentation as it pertains to men has to go underground because it scares people too much and it's too much for people to take on. Especially when a culture is held hostage by fear and hysteria and fundamentalism.
Gender-dominated environments are not good... particularly in the financial sector where there are too few women. In gender-dominated environments, men have a tendency to... show how hairy chested they are, compared with the man who's sitting next to them. I honestly think that there should never be too much testosterone in one room.
