Nobody really wanted to do that one European tour. For one, it was budgeted to lose money. They would've made something, but I would've lost a lot of money.
Zachary Cole Smith
I had to have the record literally taken away from me. I am such a perfectionist.
Zachary Cole Smith
Obviously there's so much about me on the Internet that you can turn against me, and you can make me into any person you want.

Zachary Cole Smith
If I play Coachella, it's sponsored by a company - that's corporate, too. But we're playing it because we're getting paid and we want to be a part of the festival.
Zachary Cole Smith
I've tried to be clear about who I am, and be as open as possible with the press, and speak extremely candidly and openly about stuff. I feel like in almost every instance, it's completely backfired, and I feel like people have all these kind of absurd ideas about the way I think about myself, and my own self-identity.
Zachary Cole Smith
