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.

Generally, I think people are just going through the motions now. There's so much stuff that people are doing today that has already been done. I kind of like that new Savages record, but I don't know why they take themselves so seriously.

It's this funny thing now: You sign up to be a musician because you want to write music, but you don't spend your time writing music. Instead, you go around the world selling the music you've already made.

We were a commodity used by corporations to make their brand look fashionable, but then they used us to keep kids out of venues.

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

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.

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.
