If I play Coachella, it's sponsored by a company - that's corporate, too. But we're playing it because we're getting paid and we want to be a part of the festival.

The touring band is DIIV, and the songs are always written with them in mind. But the new record is going to be more "me."

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

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

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

What I wanted was just to make music, and so, originally I just wanted to hide behind the album cover of the last record, and I wanted it to be almost anonymous.

For me, it's always been important to have the live band be one thing, and the recorded band be kind of another thing.
