I'm interested in how identity is transient. How do we know who we really are, when different situations and environments dictate how we behave? I'm interested in the role we all play. We spend our whole lives becoming ourselves when we are born as no one else.

[Being in the States] is almost like being on a holiday. It's kind of annoying because everyone's like Oh, you're so obsessed with America, but it's not really that. I just really enjoy being here - I'm not the first British artist to make music here and be inspired by the country.

Trends in culture all serve a purpose and that's always indicative in fashion and music, you can always tell what's going on culturally in the mindset of the young generation if you look at those mediums.

Obviously when you're a teen you have no money, so you make, like, three outfits out of one dress. You're like, 'OK cut the arms here. Alright: New party, cut them to here.'
