If I think about what other people are thinking when I’m making music, I just can’t do it. It’s too withheld – I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.
Obviously, I like things that are cute and aggressive at the same time, but I didn’t want it to just be mini-bangs and lip-syncing in a dress. I need to get away from that stuff.
When an artist, or whomever, moves from their scene to the bigger pond, it starts getting crazy, because all of a sudden people don’t respect you, and you have to start being a lot more aggressive than you would normally be.
I feel like gender lines are changing. A couple of years ago, it wasn’t nearly as OK for guys to like girly-sounding music. But all of a sudden a lot of my guys friends who would like have been really disdainful of female singers are way more accepting.
