I regret trusting The Guardian. I didn't want to do an interview, but the journalist was persistent. [The writer] was masked as a fan, but was hiding sinister ambitions and angles. Maybe he's actually the boring one looking for something interesting to write about.

A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I'm writing about New York.

I listen to a little Marina & The Diamonds. She has a song called 'Teen Idle' that I really like.

Fashion is inspired by youth and nostalgia and draws inspiration from the best of the past.

Einstein said 'your imagination is more important than intelligence,' and I have a very, very big imagination.

I believe in the country America used to be.

Growing up I was always prone to obsession, partly because of the way I am, but partly because after feeling so lonely for such a long time, when I found someone or something that I liked, I felt helplessly drawn to it. I suppose that accounts for some of the creepiness in my music.
