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.

I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.

Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be.

I can't censor myself; it's really important for me to say how I feel.

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

I always wanted to be really experimental.

If I think about what other people are thinking when I'm making music, I just can't do it. It's too withheld - I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.
