From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.

Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.

I love pop music, but I also love noise music, IDM - anything really, I get something out of most kinds of music. I just need to enjoy the process.

It's important for people not to feel like doing things that are immature, stuff you have to try out when you're a teenager, is bad, per se. Demonizing it is one of the reasons it becomes such an issue.

I usually like to get people in because I don't have a band or anything. In cities where I have friends, I try to get them to come out and dance for me.

I prefer making videos to making music.

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.
