“I was making enough money playing with The Contortions to kind of get by, but 'getting by' meant eating like, a slice of pizza a day sort of thing. And then whatever you could get. You know, I remember going to art openings and eating cheese and crackers a lot and stuff like that. It wasn't a lot of money but it was enough to get by. But then when The Contortions split up, and I was living with [future Bush Tetra] Laura Kennedy, she was working at Bleecker Street Cinema. So I got a job there, and we started the Bush Tetras. Then that, you know, sort of took off.”
