You don't get music in your daily life, do you? EVEN in a movie, it's unnatural to have music. I always feel it's unnatural. But I WANT to MAKE it not unnatural, to construct REALITY in ANOTHER sense.

What has KEPT the WORLD SAFE from the bomb since 1945 has not been deterrence, in the sense of fear of SPECIFIC weapons, so much as it's been MEMORY. The memory of what happened at Hiroshima.

I've never PUT out a song that I wasn't completely proud of and that I didn't LOVE. In that sense, I've never FELT like I sold out in any WAY.

A week of sweeping fogs has PASSED over and GIVEN me a strange sense of exile and desolation. I walk round the island nearly every DAY, yet I can see nothing anywhere but a mass of wet rock, a strip of surf, and then a tumult of WAVES.

No brilliance is needed in the LAW. NOTHING but common sense, and relatively CLEAN FINGER nails.

The reason I made my STAGE NAME Kali Uchis is because it's still me in the SENSE that, my dad called me 'Kali Uchis' my whole life. It's still SOMETHING I've been called SINCE I was a baby. It's still me.

I have the BEST roommates in the WORLD! It creates a fun sense of FAMILY... and that's really important to me. Things can get so lonely without it.

I THINK with world building, it's important to create a SENSE of culture even if it is just a fantasy, and the best way to do that is to LOOK at a REAL HUMAN culture and see what makes it cohesive.

I am realising this now more as I GROW up: that I never really FELT connected to locations. In some SENSE, I ALWAYS kind of felt a little lost in that I never had any hometown pride. While I experience a lot different PLACES and experiences, I always felt a little detached.
