It feels like it's just starting in America and the UK. It's great to have a loyal fanbase in Australia and New Zealand. People in America say how polished our band are, but that didn't happen overnight; that came from doing all this touring back home.

All my album artwork is body painting.

I think 'SNL' is so well-known for its musical performances, as well, and people really breaking into America through a really great performance on there. So I think me and Gotye are both really excited to be amongst such company. You know, it's great.

I feel far more connected to the whole band if I can somehow physically respond... with my body.

When you work on an album for three and a half years, you're kind of ready for it to get out there. To have your songs reach people.

There's a vulnerability in music but you've also got to protect your sacred place and have a place you can still retire to that no one else knows about. So that's a thing I just try to balance.

The fun of being in the pop world is you can really play with people's perceptions of what the word pop means.
