The only person who can confine you is yourself.

I'm not going to say I'll never rock with a band, because I'm too much of a fan of the aesthetic of a great band. But a girl group? Not again.

I'm just being the artist that I would have loved if I was a child.

Major labels limit you, but I also learned my tricks from getting around that.

At a label, you are confined to the team you have, but I did all my solo work myself, and that makes you more agile and able to go into weirder corners.

I grew up in the dance school my mother owned, and I see everything in body shapes, everything visual.

I have been doing choreography my whole life, and it's so important to make that marriage between music and the body.

I've only covered a few songs because I feel that if you're not going to go beyond the original artist in some way, then don't disrespect what they created.

I've always been an outsider kid. But I had always wanted to be in a group - growing up, I loved bands like the Cranberries and K's Choice.

I've learned that you only become as creative as you possibly can by staying independent.

I always thought music was open to all things.

As the saying goes: God made man and woman

The hopeless hope is one of the early harbingers of spring, bespeaking an innocent belief that the world might right its wrongs and reverse its curses simply because the trees are coming into leaf.

If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time.

Too bad the things that make you mad are my favorite things.

In fact I always disliked conceptual art, because my work is about anarchistic humor.

It's not how many tickets can we sell, it's where do we want to play, not where should we play to make the most money. We don't really care about that.

The truth emerging from this scattered picture of nuclear proliferation is simple: there is a stronger chance of a nuclear bomb being used now than at almost any point in the Cold War.

In all countries with a settled bureaucracy people used to say: The cabinets come and go, but the bureaus remain.

I think it's harder to learn a language without having a goal.

I'm the drummer that kind of plays more on top of the beat.
