I was weirdly obsessed with music until I was 11, and then I turned into a nerd.
A lot of people come up to me expecting to meet the person they have seen perform. It's not going to happen, unless my mania, my stage person, responds to them and not the real me.
I'll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don't have to be famous.
I feel like I've always had gay fans, I don't think my dating a woman has changed my demographic, but it certainly changed the way I feel about politics.
I don't really even go out that much now except to walk my dogs, because I don't want to be recognised.
I'm just completely obsessed with Die Antwoord.
I don't want to be famous, or recognizable,
I liked myself much more before I got famous. I was much friendlier and had more energy.
I think it would be very difficult to maintain one kind of art or whatever for your whole life. I think it's unrealistic.
I guess I felt straight when I was allowed to get married. Now I feel queerer because I'm not. It's the only thing that's changed. I wouldn't measure it in icon status or how much my demographic has changed, but in the rage I feel, and being not equal.
I hope I am a psychotherapist's dream. I've spent enough hours in therapy.
There are probably five songs in the world that I get excited about when I hear them on the radio.
I like bands for a long time, even when they're not trendy anymore. I still like Arcade Fire. I've always liked Stevie Wonder.
I have social anxiety. It's easier up on stage because there's security in being there. When I'm off stage I'm trying not to be a manic freak. I'm quite shy.
