I could talk about the book forever, because I love it and I’m really so excited by how many people are talking about it again. Which have you been enjoying talking about more? So you once again find yourself promoting two projects at the same time. In our conversation below, Quin discusses the sisters’ latest wave of projects while sharing a bit about what may be on their horizons. It’s a lot, but honestly we’re workhorses and love being creative and we remain so fucking humbled that people still want us to make shit.” “Three years ago when we put out the book and Hey I’m Just Like You we swore we would never put two things out at once again, because it means double the interviews and double the labor for your team,” says Tegan. Yet somehow the Quin sisters still managed to find the time and energy to write two upcoming graphic novels aimed at middle school readers (the first of which will come out in spring 2023), record their tenth studio album Crybaby, and executive produce High School, a brand-new television series based off their 2019 memoir. Not only did both get married to their respective partners, but Sara became a mom when her partner gave birth to a boy earlier this summer (hence an incredibly warranted change in priorities when it comes to press obligations). But a lot has changed for the sisters over the last few years. Tegan and Sara are of course still Tegan and Sara: the GRAMMY-nominated, Juno Award–winning, Canadian pop duo who have spent over half their lives making music together and advocating for the political and social rights of the LGBTQ community. There are moments where I keep anticipating that effortless familial interplay between the two-the friendly interruptions and clarifications, the back-and-forth ribbing, the mutual admiration for one another’s creative strengths-only to snap back and remember I’m speaking to one without the other. Talking to Tegan Quin without her twin sister Sara feels like the conversational equivalent to having a phantom limb.
