Cat Power

Life is hard and it gets worse and worse and worse.

I think the hardest thing about my life is that I've met so many people all over the world who I love, but they're not friends with each other.

I'm not a professional entertainer. I'm not Neil Diamond.

We played in Texas about a year ago, at Emo's, the famous country and western club in Austin. And I figured, well, if I'm finally gonna die onstage, that's where it's going to be!

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I've been homeless on a few occasions.
