Initially, I was very much concerned with having absolute control. But as time has gone by, I'm not. I mean, the whole first record was really just how I spent my free time: stoned and drinking coffee in my house, spending three hours on a song.

I couldn't do rap. I was trying. I don't know how. I'm not good enough to know.

I'd like to thank myself, and congratulate myself, and give myself a big pat on the back.

Visuals are as artistic as sounds, so being serious about both isn't a contradiction to me.

I've always admired people with really strong presences and felt that caring about the visual component of what you do is not intrinsically superficial or vain.

When I met Ronnie Spector, she walked in and said, 'You look like me.'

It's very hard to tour.
