People say 'I don't want to die alone!' But you know what, honestly? I don't want to die with a bunch of people looking at me.

I was trying to write a song based on a story in a random book of Puerto Rican short stories that I found in a thrift store. I thought it was really dark, and so I tried to interpret it. I've always been interested in writing from other people's perspectives and other gender perspectives.

I don't have the capacity to write stuff consciously. When I do, it's really awful.

It was like I was asking for attention, but I didn't really want attention.

It's made me cynical at a young age to see how overlooked certain groups I've admired are.

I see a lot of people doing an "'80s thing" who weren't even born until the '90s.

I know so many people think my music is quite influenced by Animal Collective, but honestly I think maybe the factor is that we're both influenced by the same stuff.
