I don't know if there's anything that would surprise people, because I don't think that anybody knows anything about me at all. There's not much out there. I think I'm going to come out with a pretty dark and troubled record, and it might upset some people.

My mom worked at [American] Vogue before I was born. She has always been fashion-minded. I grew up with original Yves Saint Laurent sketches on the wall in our house. A lot of that rubbed off on me.

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

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

All I'm trying to do is make music that people like and that makes people happy.

It's so easy to hate something. It's harder to genuinely appreciate something.

It's not like I had a breakdown, though it kind of felt like it at the time. I agreed to everything that happened. You can't really be at work and be like, "That's it. I've had too much. I'm going home."
