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

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 only work at night, generally. Usually when I work [during the day] I'll black out the windows or something.

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

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.

My great fear is that I'm the ultimate shallow person. I think about this kind of thing a lot, and about this phenomenon in our culture where people identify themselves with their interests. I've been trying not to think about it too much. It used to really upset me when people called me "witch house."

My manager lives on my block; four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.
