I can't even afford to keep my own ads running, so I can't really help the Greens. Also another reason I'm thinking of cancelling my gig: what's the point if nobody sees it? Yes, I think that about my online ads, even though I'd hate to play for an audience as large as the one I have on social media. - Compared to last year, when I was doing all those shows, I'm not in that same frame-of-mind... the downside of the Weeded Out cartoons is that I'm now a lot better-known, and as a result I feel this urge to write something that blows this whole perception that I'm doing gentle folk music out of the water. - I really hate my Mum sometimes. She's quite mellow now, but my childhood was often terrifying, plus she was so pushy... total stage mum; it's not a normal childhood when you're 10 years old and your Mum is saying we (the twins) should cure cancer. Plus she decided to homeschool us; I think most of my social awkwardness, and Eilish too, can be put down to growing up overseas and being homeschooled. My Dad reckoned that homeschooling us was one of his regrets when he was dying. I wouldn't have needed surrogate mother figures if my own Mum had been stable...
