I can't censor myself; it's really important for me to say how I feel.

I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.

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

The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.

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.

The last thing I think about when I'm making music is its reception.

I would never go to a studio. I need my space, you know what I mean? I need to be able to chain smoke and pace about, cry and like... spit. Just make noise, make a huge mess. I also feel like if I was concerned for the cost of the studio - like, 'this is costing 40 dollars an hour' - I wouldn't be able to work.
