There's a lot of stuff that I've been through in my life in the past couple of months that I don't really want to share with people who are close to me, but I have no option if it's my art.

When I read about myself and how writers have focused on negative stuff, it hurts my feelings.
Zachary Cole Smith
I don't know if there's anything that would surprise people, because I don't think that anybody knows anything about me at all. There's not much out there. I think I'm going to come out with a pretty dark and troubled record, and it might upset some people.

To be told that you're the voice of your generation is such an incredible amount of pressure, and I haven't faced that. Maybe by the time our third record rolls around, I will. My goals are to be a band like that in five years. At the moment, though, I can't really relate in any sense to the scale that Kurt Cobain fame has reached.

All I'm trying to do is make music that people like and that makes people happy.

I grew up around fashion - my mom was an editor for Vogue. Compared to the music industry, though, I'd say [fashion] is a little bit more disorganized. But it's exciting for me because, when you're a performer, there is a fashion element.

There's positive attention and there's negative attention - negative attention is easy, positive attention requires actual hard work.

[YSL creative director] Hedi [Slimane] is a music-obsessed guy. I might've originally met him through Sky.
Zachary Cole Smith
I wouldn't say music is my passion, or my calling, or anything like that. I mean, I don't really believe in that kind of stuff. Life is a series of chance happenings, so I just fell into it.

It's pretty easy to lose money on tour - most bands do on their first couple of tours. We're more established, but I think it was just poorly booked. It was a mess from the get-go.
Zachary Cole Smith
The touring band is DIIV, and the songs are always written with them in mind. But the new record is going to be more me.
Zachary Cole Smith
I was raised by all women. I had no men in my life it was my mom, my sister, and my grandmother. I've never identified as a man. I've always either felt like a boy or something else. I feel really uncomfortable thinking that, technically, I'm supposed to be a man, because I don't feel like one.
