Christine and the Queens

Male rock stars are sexy because they desire you first. I want to be like that. ”

When the image that I built around the first album was crumbling, it was scary: the risk pays off, but the resonances of that risk are not always easy to deal with. ”

I'm kind of an obsessive person, and touring is repetitive in the best way. ”

I'm kind of resistant to being told no, not being wanted. It fills me with energy. ”

I broke up with my first girlfriend because I was out of love. I was crushing so hard on her for a whole year, and I finally I got to be with her, and the interest vanished. I'm a terrible person. I was 17, and she was in my class. ”

Tapping into a more masculine, macho culture, I got in touch with my femininity, but differently. Macho culture is also pride of the body and showing it off - a relationship to theatricality, to construction. It's about owning your narrative again. ”

I love funny women. ”

I love when I dive into lyrics that give me human complexity and intricate narrative. ”

I love sensual women like Beyonce who are very empowering and sexy at the same time, but if it's not what you want to do then you have to say no. ”

I have an obsession with haters: the great mess of the Internet expressing itself. I love to type my name on Twitter and read everything. It's always enlightening to see what they hate about you: I'm not pretty enough to be on stage, or my music doesn't make any sense. It feels good to read that, like I'm heading in the right direction! ”
