I don't know if I would ever have costume changes - usually I just end up taking off my shoes, I get so sweaty, and... I just need to be comfortable.

I think one of the reasons I'm successful as a musician is that the first like 30 shows I played, I played with no monitors standing in front of guitar amps in a shitty, smoky warehouse where people were screaming and wasted, knocking over my gear. So shows after that seem pretty easy!

I prefer making videos to making music.

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.

Most of my music videos were made for under $200.

There aren't many other labels who I can say are that successful, and can give me as much as 4AD gives me, and still have such a great roster.

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.
