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

Obviously there's so much about me on the Internet that you can turn against me, and you can make me into any person you want.

I feel like every great record is like a world in itself.

I've already had a hard time dealing with some of the trappings of success and turned to some pretty stereotypical escape routes - ways of escaping my own reality and falling into some pretty clichéd situations.

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

Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.

Some kid can say, "Hey, I really want you to play my town in Switzerland, or Sweden, or Latvia," and they could have a fun night at the show. On the other hand, all those kids could have a record that means something to them in a more personal way a couple months down the road. The live band is a really important thing for us, but my focus is on the album now.
