I wanted to create something really aggressive and psychedelic
I believe life's too short for compromises and bad fitting jeans
In every person's life, around 27 to 29 years old, the stars and the planets align themselves to exactly the way they were when you were born. You're faced with yourself. There's no running away.
I was inspired by [Michelangelo] Antonioni's Red Desert - very big and moody.
I am such a complex person. I have so many different layers of my personality to choose from. I am super-sensitive, and I am super-strong.
If you're being ignored, that's a good time to concentrate on finding yourself and creating your own mystery.
I hate the fact you always feel like you have to be going somewhere, like the end destination is to be finished, or to be happy. But the truth is a lot of us are completely lost, and we don’t know, and that is also a state of mind, to not know who you are and where you’re going.
