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 have a lot of Japanese friends: I grew up in Vancouver, and there's this huge Japanese population over there.

I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.

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

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

I don't know if I would ever have costume changes - usually I just end up taking off my shoes, I get so sweaty, and... I just need to be comfortable.

The most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they're having a good time.
