Even in independent music, people push towards radio. It is very political.

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.

There's always going to be a fight between mainstream and underground because the mainstream is a very small bubble, and the underground scene is a very small bubble, and they both see themselves as secret societies.

I always thought music was open to all things.

I've always loved literature, and the best books I read were always trilogies.

I thought if I gave people all of my journey in one go, it could be overwhelming and easily forgotten, and I didn't want to make an album where the single was so popular that you overlook the whole record. So three parts felt right - it's a number that can't be divided into.

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

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

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

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

The same people neglecting and hating are the ones going through issues in their own lives, and they're scared to face that.
