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

Mariah Carey is my favorite singer because her voice sounds utterly groundless. It's not even a human voice; it almost sounds mechanical.

It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me.

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

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

Whenever I'm making music I'm always waiting for the shivers to happen - that's an important thing for me.

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