I really never want to try to be cool.
I like Feist's music because it's really smart, but it's really free and soulful at the same time. Sometimes you only get one or the other.
I don't think I wrote my first song until I was 25. And then everything I wrote ended up becoming my first album. I put my music online, and from that, things just happened.
I do not work out regularly, but I do dance so much and jump around so much on stage, and I do it every day, so I feel like that's my exercise.
For me, piano is just where I started; I know where to go with it.
My mom is always asking why can't I make something nice? Because I'll make paintings, say, and they're just really bloody and angsty. So I wrote 'Dark Parts' because I wanted to write something nice for her.
I wanna be bad sometimes - I wanna rip everything apart, -but it comes on less and less. Doing all this music stuff is very good for it.
I originally thought I'd grow up to be a woman. I didn't question that when I was little.
Sometimes I'm not into being a human.
If I drink coffee, I have to turn the lights off and lay down. I can't handle it.
The first record I bought was the 'Edward Scissorhands' soundtrack. I remember being really obsessed with the movie, and all the campiness sort of went over my head because I was so little - it's the same with 'Hairspray.' But I would listen to that soundtrack a lot.
When I first started making music, I wrote the lyrics first, but now, because the music has got kind of wilder, I've flipped it.
Good catsuits should have multiple zippers; they'll have a top and a bottom one.
I'm personally not a very contact-y person; I just let my phone die and don't turn it on for a couple of days.
I went off at a person who threw a plastic thing at one of my shows once. After I shamed them, I realised it was a little lipstick and felt bad for days.
I got very serious about micro-piglets and what it would be like to own them.
He was my biggest crush when I was 12, and it's never really stopped. I was on BenAffleck.com a lot growing up. I don't know why.
I like Costco. They got me to be an executive member, so I'm, like, a business class member. Somehow, I'm going to end up saving money or something. The thing is, I don't moderate very well, so I buy things that are supposed to be for a family or last for a week, but they never do.
I feel like my shows have always been a place where people can wear and be and seem however they want, and it's a heartening event.
I'm always 20 minutes ahead of myself in my head. But being present - it's beautiful when it happens.
