"...while asking for help is always good, it's impossible to keep relying on others to solve your problems for you. There comes a point where you have to help yourself. Believe in yourself."

"Love sometimes doesn't feel like the right word. The feelings I have for The Ark are what keep me going every day. They get me out of bed, even when everything is shit and I'm feeling worthless. And it always is and I always am."

being a fan
"Being a fan isn't always about the thing you're a fan of. Okay, well, it sort of is, but there is much more to it than just going online and screaming that you love something. Being a fan has given me people to talk to about the things that I like for the past five years. Being a fan has made me better friends online than I've ever encountered in real life; it has entered me into a community where people are joined in love and passion and hope and joy and escape. Being a fan has given me a reason to wake up, something always to look forward to, something to dream about while I'm trying to fall asleep."

why do we need to put adjectives on people?
"I resist the urge to roll my eyes. Being trans has been a pretty big part of my life so far, thanks, but that shouldn't be particularly relevant here, in an interview about our music. Younger interviewers usually like to chat about music and fans, but older interviewers, like Dave, are always obsessed with how many adjectives they can put before our names."

the concept of fangirling
"People think boy-band fangirls all just want to kiss the boy-band boys and marry them and live happily ever after. Whereas if you actually asked a lot of fangirls, they probably wouldn't even say that they had a crush on the boy-band boys. It's a different sort of love, to be honest. It's an I'd probably take a bullet for you but I'd probably feel a bit weird if we just started kissing sort of love. Add that to the fact that there's an extremely high percentage of LGBT+ people in fandom, particularly queer girls, usually because it's a much more diverse and accepting space than real life, then the percentage of fangirls who are just in it because Lister's soooo hot is actually quite small. And that's just one of the many things that outsiders don't get about fandom."
