Music journalists are some of the lazy, most uninspired, dull people I've ever met...

I am super-interested in fashion. I love being a person whose clothes get discussed. That makes it more interesting for me.

[YSL creative director] Hedi [Slimane] is a music-obsessed guy. I might've originally met him through Sky.

To be told that you're the voice of your generation is such an incredible amount of pressure, and I haven't faced that. Maybe by the time our third record rolls around, I will. My goals are to be a band like that in five years. At the moment, though, I can't really relate in any sense to the scale that Kurt Cobain fame has reached.

I had to have the record literally taken away from me. I am such a perfectionist.

I think that when people download the record they're kind of missing out on part of the experience, because it's really meant to be an immersive experience.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.
