After being in the creative, hermetic state I have been in, coming out has been painful, but it is getting easier.

I think that it's always more interesting to combine familiar sounds together in a new way and with newer sounds if you can make it work, rather than sticking to just one style too strictly.

You always want an album to sound like its own little planet.

Certain people have the eye of the tiger, and I never was myself that kind of person, although I'm not a slacker.

It is a good thing to let someone else's vision take over, and it has always been a good thing in the end.

Before I moved to Brooklyn to pursue music, I was a high school dropout and speed freak who'd been living with her dealer boyfriend in Bucks County, Pennsylvania at 16.

Most of the time, the creative part is like playing in a sandbox. I can sit here and work for 12 hours and not get tired of it.
