A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I'm writing about New York.
If you consider the definition of authenticity, it's saying something and actually doing it. I write my own songs. I made my own videos. I pick my producers. Nothing goes out without my permission. It's all authentic.

I love to sing and I really love to write, but in terms of being onstage, I'm not that comfortable, which I think is sort of clear.
I made that first record in 2008, alongside the EP, but my label at the time waited three years to release it. They thought maybe someone bigger would buy it, but they didn't, so in the end they just released it themselves.
I used to like to set different film clips to classical music, not even my own songs, but make little movies.
I'm a writer first and a singer second. And then I started editing my own videos when I was 17, so it's a process I've been doing since I was younger.
Feeling like you're respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary.
I have a personal ambition to live my life honestly and honor the true love that I've had and also the people I've had around me. I want to stay hopeful, even though I get scared about why we're even alive at all.
When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn't believe in.
When I was very young I was sort of floored by the fact that my mother and my father and everyone I knew was going to die one day, and myself too. I had a sort of a philosophical crisis. I couldn't believe that we were mortal.
I have taken taking my music to labels for years, and everyone just thought it was creepy. They thought the images with the music were weird and verging on psychotic.
