And my music is always such a release of what I feel inside, an impulse.

People don't really understand who I am. They always think that I'm very dark or depressed, but it couldn't be further from the truth!

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.

The word "theatrical" makes me cringe, because it suggests a performance is staged, put on, rehearsed. And while all this is true for an opera, I believe the act of singing and performing should always be honest, raw, guttural.

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.

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

When you fall in love, you become weak.
