Quotes
- “it’s completely euphoric…a reaction to what I was experiencing at the time, not a document of it.”
- “I have fresh roses on my rider, it makes my dressing rooms feel a bit more like home”
- “It’s because things were dark that this record is so full of life and energy.”
- “I didn’t feel like being introspective. I just wanted to have fun.”
- “I moved to the States for the first time when I was nine but I don’t think I fully settled until I was 13. Of course it was not easy but my family and me went through the journey together. Being a child is always hard and moving of country does not make it easier. Especially, when you are into different things because as a kid we are trying to figure ourselves out while simultaneously figuring other people out.”
