Lately I've been really into screaming a lot through delay [effects], having seven people on stage topless going crazy, stuff like that. Really in your face, but maybe more organic than choreographed dance moves.

I feel like gender lines are changing. A couple of years ago, it wasn't nearly as OK for guys to like girly-sounding music. But all of a sudden a lot of my guys friends who would like have been really disdainful of female singers are way more accepting.

Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.

I know texture is really important, but I think texture and stuff precedes songwriting a lot of the time these days.

You rarely find someone who sings really well and who produces really well; it's a problem, and I just think it's a missing link in the music scene.

When an artist, or whomever, moves from their scene to the bigger pond, it starts getting crazy, because all of a sudden people don't respect you, and you have to start being a lot more aggressive than you would normally be.

It takes me probably about four hours to get into the groove [with making music]. And it's really important for me to not break the groove.
