Obviously, I like things that are cute and aggressive at the same time, but I didn't want it to just be mini-bangs and lip-syncing in a dress. I need to get away from that stuff.

I find it really hard to throw myself into something artistically where I'm making up a whole character and finding something for that character to do.

Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.

I'm tired of being congratulated for being thin because I can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway.

As a producer, I'm trying to challenge myself to just make something that is of a professional quality - not necessarily pop music, but maybe in the sense that Nine Inch Nails is professional quality.

I want to say my life inspires my lyrics, but I also try to abstract them as much as possible because I don't want to refer to my life explicitly. I'm definitely really embarrassed by my lyrics.

I like creating beauty out of scary things.
