00:08You know to take a risk when it feels so right that you feel like you'll
00:13absolutely fall to pieces if you don't do it. But if suddenly your brain or your
00:17heart or your gut or some bodily organ decides to shove you in one direction
00:21that means it's probably the right thing to do and you should go for it. If more
00:24people in horror movies lived by that there would be more survivors.
00:37I take risk in the music industry because i choose the unfamiliar rather than the familiar.
00:43Playing music that is really autobiographical that has to do with where I grew up and what
00:48I listened to and the things that I like as opposed to what's cool on the blog.
00:51Being a woman, being vocally a woman, being forward with my sexuality, producing my own
00:56music.
00:57I pretty much do whatever I want.
01:00I know when to take a risk versus when to play it safe
01:02by having made a lot of mistakes.
01:05Everything I've done in my life has been
01:08probably someone being like, really, you're going to do that?
01:11But I think the decisions I've made based on that
01:13have gotten me where I am.
01:15My creativity and my artistic sensibility is always changing,
01:18and for me, my image and beauty and all that stuff
01:22is really part of my creativity, and I want that to be reflected.
01:25You can't really be your best person unless you try out
01:30a bunch of different things and take from all different places
01:33because that's when you're going to make your most unique, complete self.
01:37I have experienced a lot of pressure to be thin,
01:40to conform to a certain kind of look,
01:43and I do my very best to just accept myself.
01:46We need to show young people that like fashion
01:48that there's a much bigger world out there
01:50than what they see in the pages of major fashion magazines.
01:52You push the limits by staying true to what you believe in.
01:56Artistically.
01:57Trying to put good out there, that's a beautiful thing,
02:00and that's also a really risky thing.
02:02You can't doubt yourself.
02:03If you do, then others will doubt you.
02:05People smell fear.
02:06If in your gut you can feel that it's really important,
02:08that means it probably is.
02:10And regardless of what happens around you,
02:11you should probably just go ahead and do it.
02:13You need to be provocative, then you have to go for it.
02:15You have to do it.
02:16I go out there and it's kind of like,
02:18I'm going to give you all I got,
02:20and you're going to take it if you want it or not.
02:22Why play it safe?
02:23I'm going to take it.
02:23I'm going to take it.
02:25I'm going to take it.
02:26I'm going to take it.
02:28I'm going to take it.
02:30I'm going to take it.
02:31I'm going to take it.
02:31I'm going to take it.
02:33I'm going to take it.
02:34I'm going to take it.
02:35I'm going to take it.
02:36I'm going to take it.
02:36I'm going to take it.
02:41I'm going to take it.
02:42I'm going to take it.
