I am very close with my parents, they are very amazing, so loving, so cool, and really valued art.

It feels very good to sing in Russian. It feels so good inside my body.

I'm much more into someone who is telling stories than somebody who is writing a record about their breakup. It's just more interesting for me.

When I walk through the city, I just think that I see my family. I see us in everybody, you know? I see us.

I have this obsession with the '80s because I missed all of it.

There's something about trying to know when you really need to protect yourself, or else you're not going to get anything done, and sometimes to be really uncomfortable or agitated or annoyed or bored. Boredom is so important.

All the monsters in your mind just want to be nice. They want to be kind. They want to play nice. They want to be softer than the storms around. You feel them through the windows and the doors.
