I'm still grappling with all the things most people resolve by the time they're 35. Maybe that's why I make music that is relevant to young people. I'm emotionally stuck at the age of 13.

I really, really love music. I'm affected by it and uplifted by it, and made to laugh and cry, and almost fall in love with the person who has made me feel so brilliant and communicated so profoundly to me.

Depression scares people off. It makes me laugh that it has that kind of effect.

You put something you like on really loud, and you feel godlike.

It's refreshing to hear something that's pop but doesn't sound like Britney Spears.

I never belonged anywhere. I just felt like a creature from another planet.

Fashion goes round in circles.
