I feel like every five to seven years I really need to put myself in this position of discomfort and exploration, just to survive. Otherwise I feel like I'm falling asleep, like I'll go crazy if I don't do it.

For me, California is all about rest, relaxation, space.

I was just totally taken by Michael Jackson when I was a little kid, like everyone else.

You have to open up on stage.

Honestly, I find so many fields - fashion, art, music - totally boring and restricting if you just stick to one of them and try so hard to fit into that thing.

I enjoy talking to people about what I do - about films, music, directors, and art. It's very strange, having to talk about yourself.

We're passionate musicians, but we felt classical concerts were more like a funeral because nobody talked and everybody was dressed so conservatively. We thought that's kind of strange, because music is full of life! We thought we could break through that barrier with theater and comedy elements.

One tends to look back at the mistakes as the same thing - relinquishing control of something at some point in your career.
