1/2 Tegan and Sara-CRUSH Book Tour #2 Creative Growth w/ Elamin A @ Elevate Fest, Toronto,ON 10/3/24

0:43 Tegan and Sara’s entrance
1:14 Projects
2:19 T: "I think when we hit our 30s and now our 40s we don't want to tour as much and so our diversification of our world was just unnecessary thing that feed that monster inside of us that wants to constantly be producing work but not have to leave home."
2:46 (Q) E: "In a meaningful sense though, the idea is that there's some kind of thing that is missing and you're like well, the answer to that is work. The answer to that is to create more and more work. Does that feel like a productive tension?" Does that feel like maybe I should unpack this in therapy? What's your feeling on this?"
3:47 S: "I just like...if I can get really invested in something and get into a flow weather that's making an album or writing a book or just hanging out at the park with my kid, like, I feel like that's the always what I'm striving for. It's not necessarily...I don't necessarily think of it now just about like ambition or about whatever. I just think like wow, I just really like to be invested in what I'm doing." 🩶
4:12 E: “Right now the thing you’re invested in doing is bringing a lot of adolescent pain to the forefront.”
4:16 S: “Yeah. You’re welcome.” 😄
4:51 (Q) E: "Talk to me about the desire to mind that pain that you're feeling because I don't think that comes naturally to most people."
9:02 (Q) E: "I think the thing that is getting kind of important is...is there's something about creating work and putting it out there, at least telegraphic, to certain people that you're an expert in navigating through this thing and we're going to get into the documentary in just a moment but there's something about the relationship with fans where you go, we trust you with this topic. We trust you with this kind of conversation. How do you navigate, you know, the pressure to say, "I'm not an expert in this, it's just the way that I went through this.""
14:45 S: “I’ve sort of always lived in sort of admiration for those types of artists because I think maybe that kind of artist kind of lives inside of me too but shhh.” 😂
16:58 Documentary
17:09 Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara (on Hulu and Disney+ 10/18/2024)
19:56 (Q) E: "You both sort of remain so giving, so willing to sort of make yourself available, like put yourselves out there and so I just wanted to ask, how do you protect your own private internal space? You know, how do you make the thing that meets your make private, private?"
21:35 T’s more honest
22:05 T: “Please don’t kidnap me and make me live in your basement. Like, I don’t want to. You can enjoy me from a distance.” 😂
22:22 S: “If we’re dead & you didn’t kill us you can get a tattoo of our face. Maybe that’s the rule.” 😂
