If You Look At The Way People

If I Think About What Other People Are Thinking When I'm Making Music, I Just Can't Do It. It's Too Withheld - I Need To Go Totally Over The Top, And Then Kind Of Clean It Up A Bit And Make It More Reasonable After The Fact.

My Great Fear Is That I'm The Ultimate Shallow Person. I Think About This Kind Of Thing A Lot, And About This Phenomenon In Our Culture Where People Identify Themselves With Their Interests. I've Been Trying Not To Think About It Too Much. It Used To Really Upset Me When People Called Me "witch House."

If You Look At The Way People Behave At Shows, Icons Are Now Musicians; They Are The People That We Worship.

I Think You Can Hear, When You Listen To Someone's Music, Whether Or Not They're Enjoying Making It - It's So Great To Hear Music Where You Can Tell The Person Making It Was Just Having A Blast. That's Really Important To Me As Far As My Process Goes. That's Probably Why My Music Ends Up Being So Poppy!

Mariah Carey Is My Favorite Singer Because Her Voice Sounds Utterly Groundless. It's Not Even A Human Voice; It Almost Sounds Mechanical.
