Brooklyn is a hub people move to Brooklyn because of what's already in Brooklyn.

Radio is so cutthroat, but I do feel like the music industry is structured so differently than it used to be. I'm amazed and in awe of artists who can build a parallel universe that's so big and clearly defined that the mainstream finally has to pay attention.

I'm gonna really enjoy bringing out the catsuit once in a while.

No one goes to BrooklynVegan to read about content, they just go for drama. It's a tabloid, the scum of indie.

You'd have to be kind of a bonehead not to feel pressure.

When you meet someone, a friend, who's living out on the road, or living semi-homeless, or leading their life in a radically different way, it makes you think about your own life in a really critical way and feel completely disoriented.

I saw this wide-eyed girl with big ears and a pink nose who's too excited. I wanted that part of myself to sing lead.

I think all the songs [at Moth] are about different things, but if we were to speak about it as a whole, it's really about, it's about joy, and about sensuality and vulnerability and also fun, energy, living in New York in 2015, being out of control, wanting to be in control, failing! It's a sort of story of our lives.

I was really inspired by this feeling of mania, a caricature of myself that I look down upon and see negatively.

Everyone in our generation lives in a world where you're surrounded by all sorts of music all the time. People's tastes are made of combinations of genres.

When I was 10, I would hear songs like I Love You Always Forever by Donna Lewis on the radio, and I want to make stuff that a 10 year old might hear coming out of the radio and think, Yeah! I love this!
