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

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

Basically, I'm really impressionable and have no sense of consistency in anything I do.

I usually like to get people in because I don't have a band or anything. In cities where I have friends, I try to get them to come out and dance for me.

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

If I went on 'American Idol,' I would definitely be kicked out immediately.
