Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.

From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.

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.

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 think a lot of music that's really innovative is not even considered because it was made by people who had a sexual image. And people assume that it's a commodified thing, so it can't be "indie."

If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.

I love a lot of very sentimental music, but I shouldn't necessarily be the person who makes it.
