There's a lot of stuff that I've been through in my life in the past couple of months that I don't really want to share with people who are close to me, but I have no option if it's my art.

I've tried to be clear about who I am, and be as open as possible with the press, and speak extremely candidly and openly about stuff. I feel like in almost every instance, it's completely backfired, and I feel like people have all these kind of absurd ideas about the way I think about myself, and my own self-identity.

To be told that you're the voice of your generation is such an incredible amount of pressure, and I haven't faced that. Maybe by the time our third record rolls around, I will. My goals are to be a band like that in five years. At the moment, though, I can't really relate in any sense to the scale that Kurt Cobain fame has reached.

I think that when people download the record they're kind of missing out on part of the experience, because it's really meant to be an immersive experience.

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

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.
