Interview Interview With a Princess
Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Dec 23, 2008 at 2:21 PM
The Rumpus has a great interview with the great Princess Superstar. It's nice to see her treated like a writer. Her last album was a goddamned sci-fi musical epic, fercrissakes:
TR: I love the way you’ve rapped about yourself as a writer—the “cunning linguist.” What is writing like for you?PS: It depends. Most of the time it’s not easy. I am not one of those writers that it just flows out of effortlessly. I have to sit and write and rewrite and sometimes it’s really challenging to get anything good out of myself. But then once I get going I have a good time and even make myself laugh sometimes.
TR: What’s the process like? Do you write on napkins in cafes or do you hunker down at home?PS: I hunker down at home and stare at the computer for hours and maybe get a few lines out. OK, it’s not that bad. But it feels like that sometimes. I just broke up with a boyfriend so I have a little writer’s block at the moment.
Her new album, New Evolution, comes out early next year and debuts a new persona. I can't wait.
