song real kids
'Spectrum' is in part a disco song. But we play it hard, and it's a real euphoric, wailing tune. It's kind of like a total house anthem, in a way, but it seems to be going down really well. We've got all the grunge kids going mad for disco house raves.
real self streaks
I definitely have a real self-destructive streak.
real nerves life-is
The stage is the place I feel comfortable - it's almost as if real life is where I feel most nervous. Conversations are a lot more nerve-wracking.
beautiful real thinking
I've got quite a vivid imagination and I'm easily overwhelmed by sensations and things that are beautiful or scary. I don't think I've ever seen a ghost - I think I'm probably haunted by my own ghosts than real ones.
gaga love music perry pop rap
I love Lady Gaga and I love Katy Perry and R&B and rap music... I love big, American pop music.
groups crowds forget
You can forget anything, and actually being a part of a crowd, of a group, can itself be freeing.
thinking eyebrows singing
When you're dressed up as David Bowie, with your eyebrows completely bleached, and you're doing this kind of strange dance with Paul McCartney while singing "Rebel Rebel" in the middle of the Met ball, and Madonna's looking at you . . . I was just thinking, It's become a bit weird.
soul listening age
The only music I was listening to for ages was old soul. So I wasn't listening to a lot of new music - especially indie music.
drama thinking wanting-more
I think I just have a problem generally in life of wanting more of everything - more emotion, more drama, more glitz.
mother thinking brain
I think "waste of your brain" is something that my mother would say to me occasionally - I think it's usually when I'm telling her something like that I can remember every outfit I've ever worn.
order airports dancing
Everything has such order and everyone is so focused on doing what they're doing that no one ever pays attention to you spinning and dancing around supermarkets. It's something you find in places like supermarkets and airports, where everything is really ordered. There's something about those places that makes you feel really anonymous.
thinking band sound
I've been thinking about songwriting more in terms of playing it live, and how it will sound as a band.
song thinking singing
I think I just get excited by music, and, like, singing is a very physical thing. It releases endorphins in your body. You're using almost muscle in there, and I think that adrenaline really helps to kind of make the songs fresh every time.
milk dresses looks
Look, if Givenchy is going to lend you a dress, I'm not going to turn it down. I would wear that dress to just go out and buy a pint of milk if they would lend it to me.
