When you're outside of genre, you can expose more vulnerability.

I'm not in any way trying to make statements that are not also invaded by emotions and abstract ideas that I don't really understand myself. It's more interesting when I can do that.

I've studied film a lot, so I know much more about film than music, but I don't think I could have made films.

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 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.

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

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.
