I Get Offers To Do Huge-budget Music

I Definitely See The Voice As An Instrument: It Makes Great Drums, Great Synth Pads, Great Everything.

My Manager Lives On My Block; Four Of The Apartments In My Apartment Complex Of Seven Are People I Know. It's A Really Close-knit Community, And Almost Everyone On These Few Blocks Are Artists Or Graphic Designers, Because We Live Right On The Cusp Of A Warehouse District.

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."

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."

You Don't Just Have To Be Influenced By Rock, Or Goth, Anymore. It's Okay To Say, 'my Influences Are Tin Pan Music From Bali And Rihanna.' There Are Still So Many Combinations That Haven't Been Done Yet.
