St. Vincent Quote

I think anyone who is creative or self-aware in any way, there's like a humility to it, or I should say a humiliation to it. But there's also a self-delusion — the provisional ego, as my uncle would call it. The self-delusion is the thing that makes you go, oh you know what, all the music that I've ever loved in the world, I want to be a part of that — hey, listen to what I have to say, it's really important, it's going to matter.
You can't apologize your way into people's hearts... You have to go full force.
