In the world of engineering, I have noticed, there are suddenly a lot more women behind live boards, but very few in session studios. Men seem very reluctant to allow women into that role, at least in Portland. I try to make records that are fun to work on and good listening. The project and production is a big part of the process for me. It's a little goofy, but I think the message is, Joy.
Happiness is the absence of unhappiness.
Life is short, enjoy yourself,and don't do things that make yourself or other people unhappy, because it is what you carry around with you. Long hours with heartbreaking complications for very little or no money. It is the only thing i can do. The answer to your last question should have been, the support of the people around me is what keeps me going. Cuz it is.
