There's this corporate machine giving us a chance to access radio - though there's no guarantee.

Everyone in our generation lives in a world where you're surrounded by all sorts of music all the time. People's tastes are made of combinations of genres.

I was really inspired by this feeling of mania, a caricature of myself that I look down upon and see negatively.

You know how some trees have those ear mushrooms that just grow off, and you could live on one of those mushrooms and not realize that there was stacks and stacks of others? That's how I describe music scenes in New York. That's one of the trippiest things about living here - just how many parallel universes there are that you can be completely unaware of.

The music industry has completely restructured itself in the last couple of years because it hasn't been making money. Labels are signing bands they trust as artistic entities, instead of cash cows. They're signing bands because they believe that the bands have tastes beyond anything they could concoct themselves.

I'm gonna really enjoy bringing out the catsuit once in a while.

Do not be precious about your music within your own world. Try everything you want to try; just because it exists doesn't mean it's done.
