I’ve been spending a lot of time poring over everything I’ve written, because I know people are going to hear it. Liv Bruce Read Quote
I want to make sure that I can stand behind every word I’m saying, because whoever I am in six months is going to have to be accountable. Liv Bruce Read Quote
I used to listen to so many song bands that were all straight people, and my thinking on it was, ‘Well, if I can kind of suspend my own perception of myself and listen to Rivers Cuomo singing about girls, then I don’t see why a straight guy can’t listen to a band called PWR BTTM.’ Liv Bruce Read Quote
I think this is the funny thing about PWR BTTM that a lot of people don’t realize at first, which is that straight people have always loved us – inexplicably, seemingly. Liv Bruce Read Quote
The snappy way I would sum it up is not everyone is queer, but everyone has felt different. And I think that is something that people can really relate to in our music. Liv Bruce Read Quote
My way of connecting to the community that I imagined was out there somewhere for me, but wasn’t there right now was to download tons and tons of discographies of famed divas. So I had Christina Aguilera’s discography, Whitney Houston’s discography, Mariah Carey’s discography, all of that. Liv Bruce Read Quote
I do think that for a queer person to speak truthfully without shame about their own experiences is political. Liv Bruce Read Quote
There have been a lot of times in my life where I came out to a perfect stranger by some chance encounter. It’s way easier than coming out to your family. I started high school ‘out,’ then I had to tell my family. I had to introduce myself to the family. Liv Bruce Read Quote
I usually put on a lip and some mascara before I head out of the house. It makes me feel good. I started experimenting with makeup back in high school. One of my friends, who shall remain nameless, shoplifted a bunch of drugstore cosmetics for me, and I would just play with it in my room at night. Liv Bruce Read Quote
I have many queer friends who I consider to be heroes of mine, and they feel the same way toward me. Liv Bruce Read Quote
