The idea of choosing ...

The idea of choosing something that you want to be, that you identify as, at a young age and pursuing that without question - for me that was acting.

Quotes from the same author

Making music is so much more self-motivated. It's my own music. It's my own time. I don't have a team around me that's helped me make everything.
 Lola Kirke
I love acting so much, but listening to music and making music has been the greatest savior for me.
 Lola Kirke
I guess part of my ambivalence about pursuing music as well as acting is that acting is already one of the most difficult careers to create for yourself, I must be insane to embark on creating two careers in two of the most difficult fields. But I have really different ambitions with music; I just want to stay in love with music. I want it to continue to be a means of expression for me that feels like it's mine, and something that feels community-based.
 Lola Kirke
You don't have that interaction with the audience when you're acting for film; you're kind of acting in a vacuum. You're acting for a disinterested grip who just wants to reply to his wife about what time he'll be home for dinner. Everyone else on a film set is also there because they're paid to be there. They're not there because they're passionate about what you do necessarily.
 Lola Kirke
I guess I was always envious of people who got to move to New York for college because they got to see the city that I, perhaps, was pretty jaded by with new eyes and discover for themselves that Andy Warhol was dead.
