By the time I'm 50, there is probably going to be a nuclear holocaust. I should just enjoy myself.

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.

As a producer, I'm trying to challenge myself to just make something that is of a professional quality - not necessarily pop music, but maybe in the sense that Nine Inch Nails is professional quality.

I love humanity, I love the way people look

I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.

Miami is just really fun whenever I go there. It's like this post-apocalyptic Barbie world: everything is pink, and there're palm trees everywhere. But then there are also all these people in crazy sunglasses, warehouses with sick parties where all the girls are covered in spikes and black leather. It's a very weird place.

My manager lives on my block; four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.
