“You can't read when you're traveling with other people; it always feel...” — Courtney Barnett Quote

You can't read when you're traveling with other people; it always feels a bit rude.

When I started Milk! Records, it was a pretty non-profit making venture.

I started writing songs when I started learning guitar.

Artists thrive off each other, and when you see other people doing cool stuff, it inspires you to do cool stuff.

I'm self-deprecating - I spend a lot of time telling myself that things are OK, as opposed to having to tell myself to get over things.

I'm not a rude boy; I'm my own thing.

I didn't get into too many fights when I was younger. I think I got into, like, one fight when I was in high school, and that was because someone was being rude towards my mom, and that was it.

I just find it funny and terrible: someone being very rude and overbearing over somebody who doesn't know how to deal with it. Maybe it's because I've experienced that sort of thing and I don't know how to say, 'You can't do that. You can't say that to me.'

I remember a time when my parents made me feel like it was rude to ask somebody who they were voting for.

If my girls are rude, it's over. There is no place in the world for it.
