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

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

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

I always wanted to be really experimental.

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

I love a lot of very sentimental music, but I shouldn't necessarily be the person who makes it.

I grew up going to punk shows, that kind of thing - I don't wanna make pop punk! - but I like the idea of people going totally crazy and it being really intimate, loud and super-aggressive, but combining that with pop music.
