“When I started playing music, I was more of a character. Now I'm just ...” — Ben Hopkins Quote

When I started playing music, I was more of a character. Now I'm just me with a cool outfit on. I'm more comfortable being myself.

I'd say, at the end of the day, you know, from a songwriting practice standpoint, you write songs to make yourself feel something true and validating, and cathartic, maybe, and then whoever responds to it is, like, out of your control.

If you listen to PWR BTTM, or to Gloss, If you look at me on stage, it can make you feel less alone. It makes you feel like you're a queer person and you have this singular power, but it's not like we're a brand. We're just real.

I want to say that our shows are safer-spaces shows. Don't push anyone or affect anyone's space.

The country has been shaken up by me. I am just being myself.

I try to keep it real. I don't have time to worry about what I'm projecting to the world. I'm just busy being myself.

I remember going to a bookstore in Chennai and getting recognised as the 'Ahista' girl. The good thing about the video was the director let me do just what I wanted. And my costar in the video was really sweet. I think it came across well because I portrayed emotions just the way I would in real life. I was just being myself.

Sometimes it's really weird being an artist, and I deal with that best by being myself.
