Sharon Van Etten: ‘Weirdest thing I have done for love? I started watching sports’

The singer-songwriter on the advice from Nick Cave that changed her life, acting in The OA and her guilty pleasure

What’s the best piece of advice you have ever received?

I don’t want to be name-droppy, but this advice definitely came at a time in my life where I really needed to hear it. In 2013, when I was on tour with Nick Cave, I was having a problem with my partner at the time. Our biggest fights always broke out when I would go on tour, because he felt like I was choosing my career over having a relationship.
