I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.

Success, for me, is a song that can deliver shivers.

I always wanted to be really experimental.

I definitely see the voice as an instrument: It makes great drums, great synth pads, great everything.

Just because something might not have a deep philosophical meaning doesn't mean it's not important or relevant.

I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.

I would never go to a studio. I need my space, you know what I mean? I need to be able to chain smoke and pace about, cry and like... spit. Just make noise, make a huge mess. I also feel like if I was concerned for the cost of the studio - like, 'this is costing 40 dollars an hour' - I wouldn't be able to work.
