When I first began writing music I was really inspired by the French electro scene.

Everyone's just a freak, but some people are trying to hide it and some people embrace it.

I really don’t care what people think.

I have a dark side. I think everyone does.

Live in the moment. Feel everything you want to feel. And maybe have a couple of drinks if you're nervous, I guess.

I want to have tampons as merch that say ‘Periods are punk.'

Vivienne Westwood really inspires me. I love her punk ethos.

When I first started, I wasn't really aware of anything in the industry or aware of who I really was. I just put my music out there and tried to get as many people to hear it as possible.

A good song can make you smile, or it can make you dance or laugh or remind you of a moment.

I like the whole laid-back rapping. I wish I could rap! I wish I could wrap like Azealia Banks or Lil Wayne or someone like that.

I see music in colours. I love music that's black, pink, purple or red - but I hate music that's green, yellow or brown.

A good storyteller is a person who has a good memory and hopes other people haven't.

None of us and none of the Arabs trust Israel.

Writing lets you step back and think through a problem. Even the angriest rant forces the writer to achieve a degree of thoughtfulness.

I'm always looking for good music.

whereas, up to the present, there is only one known way of getting born, there are endless ways of getting killed.

If you have to tell them who you are, you aren't anybody.

President [Barack] Obama's pick of Arne Duncan as Secretary of Education was abysmal.

Public notice does not necessarily accord with internal fulfilment.

Why work? The gods are there to lavish upon the faithful the good gifts of nature.

I continue to handpick the beetles, mosquitoes feast on me, birds eat the mosquitoes, something else eats the birds, and so on up and down the biotic pyramid.
