Mitski Keeps Her Spiciest Music Criticism Private

"Well, I wouldn't see the point in making my own religion. Because I feel like I could make the most beautiful religion, the most kindhearted religion, and someone down the line is going to turn it into them getting power. For example, I could say, 'Give to the poor and help the stranger,' and it's going to become 'Take from the poor and imprison the stranger,' so I don't see a point."

"Getting cancer in America. It'll be hard. It'll cost millions of dollars - if I get to heal from it. If I get into remission, it might ruin my life."

"I think the best thing about being an artist with artist friends is that you get to do art criticism that's just shit-talking, and it's my favorite thing from an insider point of view. It was what we thought about an artist's album and their discography and the trajectory of their work."

Singer-songwriter Mitski participates in the Maria Bamford Questionnaire, revealing personal insights across various topics. She uses hydroxyzine as a sleep aid and expresses skepticism about creating personalized religions, believing any system would eventually be corrupted for power regardless of its initial kindness. She would choose to represent birth-control pills as a product and identifies cancer in America as her primary long-term fear, particularly due to financial concerns. Mitski declines to share details about recent chaotic life events. She values private conversations with artist friends where they engage in critical art discussion and candid commentary about other artists' work and career trajectories.
