I saw this wide-eyed girl with big ears and a pink nose who's too excited. I wanted that part of myself to sing lead.

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

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.

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

Playing to bigger audiences at festivals got me in the mindset of writing music that I would sing to a crowd.

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

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.
