I'm a fountain of blood. In the shape of a girl.

i thrive best hermit style. with a beard and a pipe.

All we had ever heard about record company people is that they were vampires and criminals...and they killed Elvis Presley.

Over the last 10 years, there have been so many incredible albums created in bedrooms by people who never would've gotten an album deal. People keep thinking of professional music studios like they've always been this way for hundreds of years, but they're very much a child of the 70s. Even the interior is very 70s. Everything's brown and it's wood - somebody told me the wood panels are all by the same company. We're always mourning things that have died. It's a bit much sometimes. These studios have no fresh air, and there's this unwritten rule that they don't have windows, either.

I get embarrassed listening to my last CDs. I've got a lot of work to do, let's put it that way.

When I met Apple, I made it very clear that I am an old punk and I have never done commercials or been sponsored. And I wasn't after their money.

I learned what a lot of women have to do is make the guys in the room think it was their idea, and then you back them up.
