I've quit drugs and drinking and been into healthy stuff like yoga.

Everything I do has to come from a sense of fun and joy.

People will less and less need to put an identity on genres, such as hip hop, electronica and so forth. That's what I try to do with Princess Superstar. Why should a musician be limited to only one form or one genre of music? And so, I think the same will hold true for the whole male/female categorization.

I just feel like everyone (including myself) on the planet is a little confused we are all so driven by consumption - shopping, eating, getting high, whatever - anything to not feel what is really going on.

I try to stay far away from all of them. I was tempted to go to my snotty high school reunion, but luckily I resisted the urge--when I received the hand-out that described what everyone is doing now, I fell asleep reading it. Boring!

I don't like being preachy. I think using fun and humor is an excellent way to make people think.

I want to inspire people to become their higher selves, their best selves.

We are all so self-obsessed, not really helping others as we should, spreading the love so to speak.

I wanted to make some music with deeper meaning mixed with the fun and cool stuff I've been doing for so long.

I'm not sure what kept me from the mainstream. I thought it was because I was too hard to pin down genre-wise.

I am not one of those writers that it just flows out of effortlessly. I have to sit and write and rewrite and sometimes it's really challenging to get anything good out of myself.

I love New York so much I could never live anywhere else, and ESPECIALLY not in my hometown.
