Spin: Had you been hearing voices before you went to the hospital?
Cat Power: I wasn’t hearing voices. I was having visions.

Spin: What kind of visions?
Cat Power: My window got blown out, so there was a sheet of wood over it. There were little dark knots on the wood and it looked like the desert. I could hear the wind behind it — whooooooo — blowing across the desert. And where those knots were, the desert was exposing this huge, massive civilization. All these super ornate, shiny, pointy buildings. It was this Arabic type of place, like the Sahara 5000 years ago. These other knots started moving. It was very hallucinatory. All that sand was representative of time. I felt like I was going back in time.

It’s embarrassing to admit things like this. What I thought was a vision was obviously just my mind. And since I hadn’t slept in seven days, my mind was out the window.
