FKA Twigs

especially in the beginning of my career, dating men that had a lot more commercial fame than me.

And everything I did was quite like shrouded by that.

And it was very difficult because I was,

doing some like really special things and special work and special art and and um it was kind of swallowed by the monster that is sort of tabloid culture and yeah and these things this is actually like almost like pre-social media a little bit quite old but yeah like it was a very like specific time and um yeah it

then learning about her and thinking, oh, this is like an amazing woman.

One of many, by the way.

I'm also not,

saying in any way that I'm as great as Mary Magdalene but I just I just saw some parallels yeah and I found it comforting that with time her story came out and I guess that's like that patience and that being able to be reserved and knowing that with time everything kind of works itself out because I think that even in recent times there's just a lot more

understanding of who she was and I guess the reality is as well that I mean some in some scriptures it says that her and Jesus were actually lovers and a couple and so when he died they had to say that she was a sex worker because then it would basically if she was to have children then it would make them

illegitimate because i it's like in everyone's best interest that there aren't descendants of christ you know because that would be confusing for a lot of people yeah um but you know i don't know like maybe there could have been but then there weren't because their rights would have been taken away from them because they said that her mother was a prostitute so yeah it's interesting i i just i also quite like the idea of the virgin in the hall um

I like really like holy, beautiful things, but I think I like the kind of underbelly as well.

You know, like my...

Magdalene with this duality like it was holy and it had this operatic beauty and this rawness but and that's why I really started to dive into pole dancing and

and embracing that culture as well.

Because as women, we are both, we are the Virgin and the Whore.

That's when we're the most powerful.

I always talk about this.

I am the Virgin and I'm the Whore together.

And a lot of men can't accept that actually.

They find it very difficult.
