I think I have a lot of energy, and most of it is quite aggressive energy. But in a positive way, I think. It's like a positive aggression.
I only wear black. I think it suits me.
It's not a nice thing to have a song written about you.
I think, forever, I was trying to figure out maybe... what I am. But I don't think anyone should feel pressured to have any kind of label or tag on them. We should treat everybody the same... Me, I don't like to be put down to a specific thing. We're all human beings.
People always have to have a reference - I think I'll always be in the shadow of my parents.
For me, Paul Simon has always been an incredible songwriter, as he writes very complicated songs that sound very simple, and he makes it look so easy when it's not.
On my fourth or fifth birthday, a guitar was given to me, and I made a new friend. A very loud friend.
I can only be myself, and if I have to suffer for that, that's okay, because to pretend to be somebody else - I tried that, it's terrible.
I didn't come out as gay; I came out as I don't really believe in gender.
As a kid, I loved to dress up as Ian Dury and run around hitting people with drumsticks. Members of my family, neighbours, friends, kids at school - no one was safe from my rhythm sticks.
I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to music. I like studio gear. I'm always looking it up on eBay and seeing what I can afford.
It stresses me out writing songs,; I get really super nervous and speedy. I feel like I'm possessed.
I'm very shy and awkward; I can't have a normal conversation, and then people think I'm being a bit rude, but really I'm not.
I think everyone's got an obstacle in their career that they have to challenge. I think, in a way, that pushes you to prove who you are.
I knew I wasn't going to write a record as soon as I got signed, because I hadn't had any life experiences. I was still at school, and I wasn't going to write about that.
Music is the only thing that I trust.
I make my songs slightly abstract so that people can interpret them their own way. I think that's a lot more special, so you can hear a song and think, 'I feel exactly that way,' even if it wasn't written for that feeling.
I was very young when I did 'I Blame Coco,' and I never really recognized that sound as me.
I would make documentaries if it was a worthy cause. I have a lot of respect for people who put themselves in harm's way to make people see that something needs to be done.
I don't particularly like attention. I like to do things on my own. I like to dress myself. People always ask that at shoots: 'Do you want any help?' That's the weirdest question.
