When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn't believe in.

And I really have done everything that I said I did do. The rest is just a story that somebody else made up.

I'm personally more struck by visual things more than musical.

When I was very young I was sort of floored by the fact that my mother and my father and everyone I knew was going to die one day, and myself too. I had a sort of a philosophical crisis. I couldn't believe that we were mortal.

I never stopped writing about what was actually going on in my life. There's nothing to hide.

Cruel World has been my favourite track from Ultraviolence ever since I recorded it.

I still have my same babysitting job, I babysit twice a week.
