- [observation, 2014] I can see pop music changing into something I can really run. There's only a few more years left of the whole plastic, overproduced bad lyric, throwaway pop. It's dying out because audiences are clever. Artists are running their own careers now, and that means it has to come from them. It has to come from their brain.
- When I make my music, I'm looking to fulfill a very selfish need to just make what I want to hear. I'm really just in the moment with it, and I really just want to make songs that I want to hear in the club, and I want to make them in a very spontaneous way.
- [on her creative process] I just don't really like to think too much. For me, the second I start thinking about the decisions I'm making is when it begins to feel a bit contrived, and the songs just become not special.
- I feel like, as a creative person, especially if you're doing what you want to do for a living, no matter what area of creativity, it's like we are so lucky to be creative, because some people really try all their life to make their creative passion their actual job and don't succeed, even though they're probably extremely, extremely talented and deserve that. But some people just can't manage to do it for whatever reason.
- I don't feel pressure to be perfect or strong or whatever. I mean, I definitely am a strong person. But I think I have learned that what's best for me is I just want to feel my feelings. I think it's okay to be vulnerable.
- I used to be quite obsessive about, like, 'Am I going to be commercially successful? Am I going to be on the charts? I used to care about it, and now I just don't. I think that's what allows me to be quite liberated when I make music.
- I like to work fast. I don't really like to rehash things. I don't really like to spend a lot of time on figuring out the best pop melody or whatever. I get so bored, so I like to move really quickly. Luckily, I work with people who also like to do that. I just feel like there's more time for fun shit if you just make it really quickly. For me, the first idea is always the best idea.
- I do naturally gravitate toward the queer community. The majority of my friends are in the community. I just feel that energy supporting me so much. I really wouldn't be where I am without that community. When we go out, it's often with the community at an LGBTQ+ club or night or something like that.
