Music makes me want to dance but I'm not sure that's something anybody wants to observe.

A big part of making music is the discovery aspect, is the surprise aspect. That's why I think I'll always love sampling. Because it involves combining the music fandom: collecting, searching, discovering music history, and artifacts of recording that you may not have known existed and you just kind of unlock parts of your brain, you know?

I quite clearly remember driving home at 9 a.m., after shooting all day, in a bathrobe, with bodypaint all over my face, and going through McDonald's drive-thru. I ordered a coffee to make sure I didn't crash on the way home. And the girl working there, she didn't even bat an eyelid. I guess it's a regular thing down in Hastings [Australia] McDonald's.

I'm open to whatever. I think sometimes when people collaborate these days, it's a little bit convenient.

When I started covering The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in a rock 'n' roll band, it helped me realize that my natural voice is actually really high. It helped me find my voice.

Through the music I hope to give it an arc that gives it a greater sense of a journey through the set rather than a bunch of songs.

All the records I've put out have had either artwork that I did while I was young or something that my Dad painted.
