I'm sad that it's uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues.

I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.

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.

If you focus too much on development of the visual angle, it could be a detriment to what you're doing musically.

I approach music - and this sounds crazy - as though I'm Phil Spector, and I'm cranking out these pop stars and forcing them to do all this stuff - except they're all me. But I'm not, like, transgendered.

I'm a very unhealthy person, and Montreal is very cold, and I'm usually sick when I'm there.

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.
