I'm really visually stimulated more than anything. I don't really listen to music. I'm more into watching telly or watching movies and visual art.

I don't know anything about the history of music.

Knowing now what goes into making a successful artist, it's disheartening.

People aren't honest about the horrors of fame. The downsides are so overwhelming that, for me, there is no payoff.

I don't go to shows because I just want to listen to the music performed live. I want to get to know the person who's performing it. Or I want to, like, take away a sense that I had an experience that nobody else is going to have again, or a unique experience for that moment.

When I was 10, my parents really valued success in the arts, and I thought if I was a famous 'something artistic,' that they would love me more.

There are probably five songs in the world that I get excited about when I hear them on the radio.
