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.

Radio is so cutthroat, but I do feel like the music industry is structured so differently than it used to be. I'm amazed and in awe of artists who can build a parallel universe that's so big and clearly defined that the mainstream finally has to pay attention.

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

The only thing that deeply frustrates me is the slow speed [of major labels]. The more people involved, the slower the pace.

You'd have to be kind of a bonehead not to feel pressure.

Don't say yes to everything. Learn how to say no, because people respect a no.

I think all the songs [at Moth] are about different things, but if we were to speak about it as a whole, it's really about, it's about joy, and about sensuality and vulnerability and also fun, energy, living in New York in 2015, being out of control, wanting to be in control, failing! It's a sort of story of our lives.
