Rihanna has guts and she always seems to be singing from someplace honest, dark and fierce.

I've learned to really enjoy video games. It's really toxic to have in your house, because it's really distracting.

The hedonistic lifestyle is difficult to achieve when you're still carrying your own gear. Trust me that you don't feel glamorous with a 60-pound amp in your arms; it's a lot less sexy than toting a vodka gimlet and impossible to do in heels.

I'm interested in the crevices, and the grotesque, and the unsavory. That started out when I was young... I've never quite been able to shake that.

It's so nice to have a band name you don't have to explain.

"We can't name it, but we can sing along." That is my ultimate relationship to any art form, but especially music.

I've mostly been focusing on writing, and I've really enjoyed not playing music. It will always be part of my life, but I don't feel the immediate need to be playing for people.
