I've never been good at being nostalgic, and I've never been able to focus on sound without having a voice that's very here-and-now.

I'm obsessed with voices in film. I have this memory of how people say words, even on the most intensely stupid reality TV show.

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 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've always been a fan of reading art catalogues from exhibitions, and plays, and I've worked with a surrealist German playwright, Heiner Müller.

I'm not trying to be a solution or create a freer, utopian world. I think my music dreams of it, though.

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