stars crazy stuff
I approach music- and this sounds crazy- as though I'm Phil Spector, and I'm cranking out these pop stars and forcing them to do all this stuff-except they're all me. But I'm not, like, transgendered.
stuff obsessed
I'm just very obsessed with Japanese stuff in general.
actors stuff footprint
It's really hard as a Canadian actor to make a footprint in the States, because of the visa 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.
art funny obviously
It's obviously funny to be a meme, so I could be down with it in that regard, but it also belittles one's art.
It's interesting to be a front person who is controlling the majority of the sound.
record
I want to make an a cappella record to release for free.
