The things they've been going through because of these women that I've been able to play and the stories that we get to tell. And during my concerts as well, people come together. There's something that happens in these spaces. I'm really grateful that that is what people experience with me. But I do have to be like... Protective. Yeah, because otherwise I'll just arms open wide all day.

Yeah. And it's very hard not to because I actually care every time someone takes the time to tell me a story. I'm listening. I feel their feelings because there's nothing worse than trying to tell someone a story and them not even bothering to like look you in the face.

It's not healthy. So after those shows, after those performances, whenever I've had all of that outside of it, I have to find spaces for me to just be like me, find places where I could be meditative. And for me, running or walking gives me space to just like, I'm just going to think I'm going to reconfigure my brain.

It's so great. It has really helped me. I went to Greece and I filmed a little film called Drift. And that was really terrifying and hard and heartbreaking, the whole lot.
