UCR broke down the interview into four clips. Here's the full 15-minute interview combined.

I don't think she's a poet in the classical sense, but what sets her apart from everyone else who have similar aspirations is how prolific she is and her willingness to put the work out there for public scrutiny. Obviously some of it will be impressive and a lot of it will be crap. But inevitably, when you have the raw talent, the quality writing shines through and reaches an audience.

I have three writers friends, two who won't share any of their completed work because they're afraid of others criticizing it. So they only let selected people, a small pool of literary agents, see the work in any form. Those two have yet to be published even though they have been trying for years. My third friend, who just writes in every spare moment, compiled the best of his writings, shared it on Facebook and with friends, received feedback, and published independently last year. Now he has a growing audience.

Well, to each his own. I've seen Stevie's drawings and think they are beautiful. She's not classically trained, but her drawings are very whimsical (she loves angles) and creative.

I agree. I find them simple, but beautiful.

Same here! I actually think Stevie's style is pretty damn good and unique for someone who is not a trained or practiced artist. I would love if Stevie released some of her drawings and I think the general public would find them highly artistic. Sure, true artist would probably say her drawings are smut and only popular because of her name, but I don't think it would be a completely valid assessment. Marilyn Manson is by no means Van Gogh, but he has a unique style and his art has actually been pretty well received which I think would be the case with Stevie.

That being said, it will never happen. Stevie has been saying the same art/rhiannon movie/write a book in X amount of years for so long it is nauseating. I hate that its always some big planned out in the future thing for her and she assumes she has to stop recording music to do any of these projects.
