Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
I make mistakes. I say stupid things. I do idiotic things. And, quite frankly, I'm proud of them. Why not make mistakes?
Some people say I've got a five-octave range, which is ridiculous. That would mean I'd sing like Mariah Carey or that alien in 'The Fifth Element.' And I'm nothing like that blue alien. I've got a range of about 3 1/2 octaves.
I think, 'How could anybody mock a good pop song?' It is timeless; it transcends barriers; it breaks down every single type of social barrier that you can possibly have. It can deal with the most difficult subjects, even if it abstracts the subject matter.
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
I certainly don't follow fashion. I think fashion, as far as the industry and the whole world that surrounds it, is quite vile, and I'm repelled by it.
I wish I had more guts when I was younger because then I would've said things to people's faces instead of just running away all the time.
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
I completely understand the responsibility I have in continuing the sonic style that I have created.
Sometimes I dress like what I want for lunch, because all I can think about is having a tuna sandwich.
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
