The only reason I would write a break-up song is because my own problem of allowing myself to relate to people.

It sounds kind of stupid, but I've never not wanted to be a musician. It's been inside me since I was little so I don't know what else I would do.

True expression is hard when performing opera. The problem is that opera relies on the dramatic context of the piece. It can be interpreted and represented, but there are guidelines; there is a vocabulary within the pieces that you must know objectively and reflect.

I think I'm making music that's pretty universal.

I don't know why people think I'm a Goth - that's a misconception.

I feel like humans are a disease. It's a hard thing to communicate in a pop song. I mean, who wants to hear that?

Everything I do is a reflection of the duality within me. Musically, I really love things that are very synthetic and unnatural. And I also like the organic and human... the intrinsic, I guess.
