I was going on this desert adventure with some friends and we were like, How amazing would it be to just drag all these mirrors out there?

I don't necessarily love all the collaborations that I've done the more I work with other people, the more I realize that I want to work with myself.

I was inspired by [Michelangelo] Antonioni's Red Desert - very big and moody.

Los Angeles is such a mysterious place because there's so much evil in that city, but there's also so much light. You can be totally alone on a hillside and I love that kind of secluded, deserted rawness.

I hung out with some crazy desert people. One guy was just walking around with only shorts on - he'd been walking with bare feet for the last two years. He was totally scarred and eating on all fours like a dog.
