I'm no buddhist, but this is fu**ing enlightmentment

In school, I guess I was a difficult, know-it-all type of student... I was always complaining that music education was too academic.

Sometimes when I write lyrics there are images in them, usually on a quite simplistic level, like colors. But most often music comes first and then later I sit down with visual people and we chat about what we want to do. I don't look at myself as a visual artist. I make music.

I'm self-sufficient. I spend a lot of time on my own and I shut off quite easily. When I communicate, I communicate 900 per cent, then I shut off, which scares people sometimes.

I am one of the most idiosyncratic people around.

I just feel like making things solar-powered and wind-powered should be as easy as using an iPad.

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.
