jobs people needs
I don't have any money to hire actors. I just need to get people who are going to do a good job being themselves.
shoes costumes needs
I don't know if I would ever have costume changes - usually I just end up taking off my shoes, I get so sweaty, and... I just need to be comfortable.
sweet needs catchy
When I'm making something I need it to be catchy - I need it to hit the sweet spot.
noise needs kind
I love pop music, but I also love noise music, IDM - anything really, I get something out of most kinds of music. I just need to enjoy the process.
thinking people needs
If I think about what other people are thinking when I'm making music, I just can't do it. It's too withheld - I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.
cute dresses needs
Obviously, I like things that are cute and aggressive at the same time, but I didn't want it to just be mini-bangs and lip-syncing in a dress. I need to get away from that stuff.
animal collective hearing loss permanent seen suffered
I've seen Animal Collective live, and I suffered permanent hearing loss from that show!
beings curve human learning music natural obscure
The thing about music is it's not an obscure pursuit, it's a very natural thing for human beings to do. Once you put in the effort, the learning curve is very fast.
I've always been very intense about everything I do.
music
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
art good
I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art.
music
My image seems to be so infantilized, and I don't really know why. It belittles the music.
cranking hits job
My dream job would be sitting in a room, cranking out hits for Rihanna.
music songs
My favorite music is never the music that anyone else likes, and other people's favorite songs are always my least favorite.
