I hate the whole 'record your album, do your promo campaign, have a year off to write another album' pattern. As an artist, you should keep creating as much as you possibly can.

I actually quite like promo, which is quite odd for an artist, but recording's not the easiest thing.

I love natural beauty, and I think it's your best look, but I think makeup as an artist is so transformative.

When you are in the studio, you don't have anybody to feed off of; meanwhile, when you are playing live, you interact with people and you feel the energy in the room. When the crowd is going crazy, that definitely impacts your vocal performance. I prefer to sing live.

I've always been interested in how fast-moving our identity is and that I've never been able to pin down who I truly am. That inspires me to write, because I feel like that cements me a bit, in that I find my identity in being an artist.

I don't think I'm an instantaneous act the whole world will love in one second - but that's how I've felt about bands I love.
