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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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