every little creature has the right to get angry

emmalynsulllivan:

“I’m certainly not interested in innocence at all. I get very upset when people tell me that my record’s all about innocence. If I’m interested in childhood, it’s not the innocence, it’s the part of childhood where you have this huge capacity to be sad. You understand an innate sadness in a lot of things, and you understand an innate beauty in a lot of things. You pick apart something dead that you find on the side of the road, or you ask really embarrassing questions at the dinner table. There’s this curiosity, and this lack of embarrassment and lack of self-censorship—that’s interesting to me. But not innocence.”

— Joanna Newsom, The Believer Mag, 2004 (via uv-ray)
