There's huge amounts of nonsense that goes with everything surrounding music and art. All the things you have to do promote yourself - there's huge amounts of nonsense.

I think your most intimate thoughts are only honest when they're in your head.

I definitely tell things at arm's length but that is conscious. No part of me wants everybody to know what's going on.

I'm a lot more observational than personal in my writing. My writing is mostly a lot of questions without answers.

Age is relative. Experience is relative. And I think often intensity is confused with maturity.

One woman I interviewed, Amanda Ghost, said, "Let's not bullshit, there are no women at the top of the music business, and that is a serious problem." And I said, "Yes!" And I didn't shy away from saying that. But I still don't want to be in the firing line. I'm not clever or witty or brave enough to get into the political nitty-gritty with it.

I was an incredibly misanthrope. I couldn't relate to people my age, and I'm not sure why, as I wasn't particularly smart or interesting
