Anyone becomes mannered if you think too much about what other people think.
But everything has been so gradual that it's sort of all come from, just hard work and basically being at it.
I just happened to start playing music for the conceptual ideas.
I mean, I don't even think of myself as a musician, really.
I try not to think too much about what the audience is thinking and what they think I should do.
The last two records I liked playing a lot.
Rap music is really good when you're traumatized.
Sometimes I think fashion is more of a conversation between men than it is for women.
I don't really feel comfortable anywhere except when I'm working alone at home. It's exhausting to be out around people.
In rock music, people have certain assumptions that it makes people more enlightened, and it really doesn't.
Basketball and ping-pong are my two forms of exercise.
I like the adrenaline of playing improv - it makes me feel really calm.
I would be too self-conscious if I just thought of writing lyrics for a song. I have to trick myself into doing it.
It is fun to smash guitars.
No one talks about woman power. The Spice Girls - they're masquerading as little girls. It's repulsive.
I watch 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' with my daughter. We're very into Buffy and Buffy's friends.
I was kind of freaked out by the art world in the 1980s. Just the money thing. All the competition over artists.
I still don't really feel like a bass player.
I see it as more of a teenage activity than, you know, she's only 11, but you know, I think it's great that she knows so many girls who want to play music. And I see it more as a teen activity than I do as going into music.
I really want to start playing basketball. I actually bought a new basketball.
I never thought about doing anything other than making art.
I love the way Lady Gaga finds humour in fashion, but it's still very stylised.
I love Northampton. As exciting and glamorous as New York can be, I'm always really relieved to get back there.
I just think that playing bass, like punk rock bass with a pick, wasn't meant to be done for 25 years.
I don't see myself as a rock star. I don't see myself in that way. I'm interested in work that offers some sort of critical dialogue.
