I already have success. I had it a long time ago. It's nothing to do with my music. Music is secondary, at this point. The good stuff is really good, but I have success because I'm at peace and I'm a good person in my everyday life and that's important.

It takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it, to know what true freedom is.

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

Pick your role models wisely, find out what they did and do it.

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