Quotes
I was doing amazing before the album came out, but I'm very emotional right now and I think it's somewhat of a good thing. But I just didn't realize doing a lot of the press and interviews, I'm revisiting those old thoughts that I had — being insecure, just not being confident. I'm trying to move forward, but each time I talk about it, it still is like a trigger because nobody knows exactly how I feel but me. So in those moments in time when I'm talking about these dark thoughts that I had, it's very triggering. And I didn't recognize that it would be that way.
I've never done this much press in my life, so it's a lot for me. I don't regret anything. I'm so happy that everything's out. Like, this is what I waited for my whole life. Music is therapy for me and being able to speak to exactly all of my feelings that I've been feeling in the past few years. It's like, I'm proud of myself.
Everything doesn't need an explanation. Sometimes "just because" — that's the answer. It's just because. I'm just doing what is natural and normal to me. Living in my truth.
Well, I want to say this — there's a clown on the cover of Whack World, too, if you zoom in. Clowns are like one of my most favorite things. I just connected with clowns 'cause I felt like everybody sees me as this happy, bright person, and for the most part I am, but there's layers, you know? No person is always one way, every day. And if they are, something's wrong with them. I'm not a cartoon. I always felt like the performer, the clown, that's the only way I could really describe how I feel. Being the artist I am today and human person Tierra Whack.
It does. 'Cause in a way it's like, I'm still putting it off on like this "character," but it's me, ultimately. It's me, but sometimes I'm afraid to say the things directly from my mouth, but if I give it to something else or somebody else, then it's like, alright, cool, but I'm being direct like the character. It is me. It is me.
