The last thing I think about when I'm making music is its reception.
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
I usually like to get people in because I don't have a band or anything. In cities where I have friends, I try to get them to come out and dance for me.
I always wanted to be really experimental.
I know texture is really important, but I think texture and stuff precedes songwriting a lot of the time these days.
I approach music - and this sounds crazy - as though I'm Phil Spector, and I'm cranking out these pop stars and forcing them to do all this stuff - except they're all me. But I'm not, like, transgendered.
