On an emotional level, I don't want to be a guide. I want people to hear things and experience them their own way.

I got really interested in the language used in blogs written by young girls - a young person's aggression, which is always lacking from the visual world.

I'm very interested in the visual world because I'm also very interested in feminism. I find that the world of watching takes us into the most psychotic state of, like, "You are this one person, but you have to become another person to see these images."

I'm inspired by that rawness in very direct communication. My work is not meant to keep people happy or give them an escape.

I took interest in Paris Hilton at one point and got fascinated with her voice.

I've always been so interested in the way the body feels when singing or being on stage, or being in the audience for that matter. It doesn't have to be the typical "rock" experience. It can be so much more.

I went through various phases of different accents - I get ridiculously obsessed with different accents, different regional ways of using the voice, different types of singing. It's all tied together. Speaking is a kind of singing, as are crying and laughing.
