"I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around"
About this Quote
The “cocoon” isn’t just quaint bohemian branding. It’s a metaphor for insulation, even protectionism, but also transformation. She’s claiming a private interior life as something cultivated, not merely escapist. Classical music functions as cultural shorthand: disciplined, old-world, apolitical in the way museum air can feel apolitical. That’s the provocation. Art becomes a refuge that pretends to be outside the news cycle, even though it’s historically entangled with power, patronage, and class.
Contextually, the line reads like a response to the modern interview trap: every public figure is asked to be legible, positioned, sortable. Green’s intent seems less “politics don’t matter” than “I refuse the compulsory performance of awareness.” The subtext is that silence can be a luxury, but it can also be a boundary - and she’s betting that mystery, not commentary, is what her audience came for.
