When I'm Making Something I Need It

I Think A Lot Of Music That's Really Innovative Is Not Even Considered Because It Was Made By People Who Had A Sexual Image. And People Assume That It's A Commodified Thing, So It Can't Be "indie."

I Don't Have Any Money To Hire Actors. I Just Need To Get People Who Are Going To Do A Good Job Being Themselves.

I Definitely See The Voice As An Instrument: It Makes Great Drums, Great Synth Pads, Great Everything. Vocals Can Be So Many Things, Like, "hey, I'm Michael Jackson, And This Is My Iconic Voice," Or A Choir Of People Sounding Like Mozart's Requiem. Mariah Carey Is My Favorite Singer Because Her Voice Sounds Utterly Groundless. It's Not Even A Human Voice; It Almost Sounds Mechanical.

Art Gives Me An Outlet Where I Can Be Aggressive In A World Where I Usually Can't Be.

I Grew Up Going To Punk Shows, That Kind Of Thing - I Don't Wanna Make Pop Punk! - But I Like The Idea Of People Going Totally Crazy And It Being Really Intimate, Loud And Super-aggressive, But Combining That With Pop Music.
