“This all has been a building process. Nothing has been handed to me. I’ve taken advantage of all the opportunities that have come my way by working hard. It feels good to see people responding to my music. I feel like comparisons can be very counterproductive in the art world. It’s no fun to categorize somebody’s self-expression. I make the music that flows through me and that’s all I can ever do.” – Zella Day (Chaparelle)

“I’m not a big Pride person. In my opinion, Pride equals consumerism and conformity. I’m much more into the idea of gay shame, militant rebellion, and resistance to assimilation. Since I live in the middle of the old, gay Greenwich Village and right above a raunchy lesbian bar, Henrietta Hudson, I’ll probably try to escape the city altogether, just like I did in previous years. What can be better than celebrating Pride out in nature? Maybe I’ll even put on my pink thong to show to the neighbors how extra proud (or ashamed) I am!” – Slava Mogutin
