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.

There are just some things that you can't deny.

A record is worth 10,000 live shows.

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

I wouldn't say music is my passion, or my calling, or anything like that. I mean, I don't really believe in that kind of stuff. Life is a series of chance happenings, so I just fell into it.

I grew up around fashion - my mom was an editor for Vogue. Compared to the music industry, though, I'd say [fashion] is a little bit more disorganized. But it's exciting for me because, when you're a performer, there is a fashion element.

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.
