“It's hard because I think I fall into this in-between space where there's something that's innately feminine about me, and there's also something that's kind of androgynous. I carry myself somewhere in between, and I think my music lends itself to that as well.”

“All the musicians I loved growing up were men. I loved Leonard Cohen, Mick Jagger. I loved Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys. Even today, I love Van McCann from Catfish and the Bottlemen and Matt Healy from The 1975.”

“I wouldn't trivialize my existence into a hashtag.”

“I write songs very quickly, so the 20 minutes of joy I get out of writing a song doesn't compare to the two months of joy I get engaging with the people who like my music.”

“There are conspiracy theorists who think I was crafted in a boardroom. Because I'm so very relatable and so very topical and so very Tumblr.”

“It's really exciting to see all those people that exist in numbers online translate into tickets and then into faces, handshakes, pictures, stories.”

“I don't have the panic I used to have, meeting people who are androgynous, but when you meet someone whose identity is unclear, that throws your own identity into flux because the way we treat each other is very gendered.”

“I do feel like I'm at ease in my own skin when I find an androgynous balance.”

“Virginia Woolf said that writers must be androgynous. I'll go a step further. You must be bisexual.”

“In a sense I portray myself in a very androgynous way, and I love androgyny.”

“I don't know if I have a sensitive nose or what, but I'm very, very peculiar about the scents that I do like. I like something that is unisex and androgynous. I don't like anything that's too sweet. If something is sugar or lollipop or whatever, I can't do it.”

“My personal style is somewhat androgynous and simple. With my lifestyle, I've become more of a minimalist.”
