If you look at the way people behave at shows, icons are now musicians; they are the people that we worship.

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.

I like being behind the camera because I can control perception and what people see.

I write music better in the winter, I prefer making music when it's dark.

I feel like vocals are to music what portraits are to painting. They're the humanity. Landscapes are good and fine, but at the end of the day everyone loves the Mona Lisa.

Basically, I'm really impressionable and have no sense of consistency in anything I do.
