I'm more of a whiz on the guitar and drums. I hear certain sounds in my head, and I find it easy to translate them into synth sounds, but I'm not really technically-minded.

I don't drink anymore. That's a huge - that's a massive - difference in my life. It's made a huge change in my touring.

I would be happier if it were a full audience full of drag queens. It would be my dreams come true.

With the first record (2008’s Ladyhawke) I was quite naive, but very excited and happy.

That's always been my main anxiety - the people in the room. That's my massive stress - thinking that these people in the room are judging me. And, this time around, I've been able to think a little bit more clearly about that. I've been able to think "Well, no. They're here to enjoy a show," and I want to give them that. I want to give them their money's worth – for starters.

I think love and obsession are almost one in the same thing at some times. Because the person you end up falling in love with, there is an element of obsession in the early days - it's all you can think about.

I don't want anyone to think that I've been lost to California.
