Time & Perspective Quote by Rosanne Cash

After decades in a business that turns your life into a press cycle, Rosanne Cash is naming something that almost sounds suspicious: ease. The line isn’t triumphant so much as corrective, like she’s revising the myth that artists are supposed to suffer through promotion as penance for making the work. “Supporting it” is industry code - not just playing songs, but selling the story around them. Cash flags that she’s finally enjoying the whole machine: shows, interviews, “everything.” That last word matters; it’s a sweep that implies she’s tried every other stance before this one, from resistance to resignation.

The “first time in 23 years” is doing two jobs at once. It’s a personal timestamp, but it also hints at how long it can take an artist - especially a woman in country and Americana spaces, where legacy is policed and “authenticity” can become a trap - to regain ownership of her own narrative. Enjoying interviews isn’t just liking small talk. It suggests she’s reached a point where talking about the work no longer feels like being reduced to a brand, a lineage, or an anecdote.

Subtext: the process used to cost her something. Burnout, grief, label pressures, a life lived under public inheritance - take your pick. Now the touring and the talking read less like extraction and more like extension, proof that the album isn’t a product she has to defend but a chapter she actually wants to inhabit out loud.
