I always wanted to be really experimental.

I think Canadians make a lot of music because we're stuck inside all the time.

I think a lot of music that's really innovative is not even considered because it was made by people who had a sexual image. And people assume that it's a commodified thing, so it can't be "indie."

The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.

Usually when I make music, in my head I'm like 'this isn't Grimes, this is just some other project that you can release later, so there's no pressure and it doesn't matter and no-one's ever gonna hear it'.

Lately I've been really into screaming a lot through delay [effects], having seven people on stage topless going crazy, stuff like that. Really in your face, but maybe more organic than choreographed dance moves.

If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
