I can't be bothered to learn Final Draft. I'm not a technical person. Like, when I sing, I just want to sing the melody and write the lyrics.
I'm just completely obsessed with Die Antwoord.
I have never made money selling records. I have never really made money touring, either, or with merchandise, surprisingly. But I do make money by just having my songs in the background of television shows or in commercials or movie trailers. That's been really good.
I love visual gags and gimmicks; I love them.
I don't want to be critiqued about the way that I look on the Internet.
I was pretty much tap dancing for attention from a very early age.
Usually, the song will tell me who it belongs to. It seems clear to me who would do a good job with it, who it suits.
I love watching reality TV, but being part of making it was just demoralizing.
I don't need to be rich anymore; I don't need to be a millionaire.
In my sobriety, I have discovered that the people I love, and who hurt me, were sick like me.
I hope I am a psychotherapist's dream. I've spent enough hours in therapy.
That would really be my fantasy - maybe just do three shows a year and each year in a different city, just singing for the people who really want to see it, and then just write for other people. I do love to sing, but I'm just as happy singing in the bathtub, you know?
All I really want to do is things I haven't done. 'I'm gonna put a paper bag on my head and be on the cover of 'Billboard,' see what I can get away with - if they'll let me.' And they let me. And I am literally giggling inside for, like, a month that I got away with it.
Like when I'm singing live I can't hear myself. I'm just listening to the rest of the band. To listen to my voice, it doesn't even feel like it's me.
I really don't know anything about music. I don't really listen to it. I don't know anything about the history of music.
I try not to do too much self-analysis apart from when I'm actually paying $170 an hour for it. I try to keep it in the room.
I get to sit at home with the dogs on the sofa, record in a closet in the office, send them off and, if I'm lucky, make a million dollars.
I was weirdly obsessed with music until I was 11, and then I turned into a nerd.
I'm fine around other people's feelings. It doesn't make me nervous or anxious.
I appreciate my music is famous, but I'd rather my face wasn't so that I can just live a normal life.
I don't do sessions for myself ever. I'm always working, writing for pop sessions. And what happens is that sometimes I like a song so much, I keep it for myself.
That's the thing about awards - it's for the people who do all the hard work behind the scenes. An award is just a clap at them.
I toured for 13 years, and it was very lonely, and it was hard work.
I don't need to sing in front of thousands, as I can sing in the shower.
I got a little bit famous. I didn't like it.
We all need to stand together and be a part of creating the future we hope to see.
I'm allowed to maintain some modicum of privacy. But also, I would like not to be picked apart or for people to observe when I put on 10 pounds or take off 10 pounds, or I have a hair extension out of place, or my fake tan is botched.
I thought I was going to be an actor. I liked entertaining. I was pretty much tap dancing for attention from a very early age. My family was kind of musical, and there were people in the circus next door and actors across the road. I just enjoyed messing around with music growing up, but I really thought I was going to be an actor.
I don't really even go out that much now, except to walk my dogs, because I don't want to be recognised. I used to be a really friendly person, and now I just want to be invisible. I liked myself much more before I got famous. I was much friendlier and had more energy.
I love to dance. I have always been the first on the dance floor, but I'm not teachable. I couldn't learn 'five, six, seven, eight' if my life depended on it.
I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'
