1) Can you tell us a little about what you do?
Yes. I make music. I write, perform and produce everything myself. I have quite an interest in Gothic & Lolita fashion, and sometimes I make artwork and write stories. I speak fluent Japanese. Oh, on top of all that I have narcolepsy.
2) Why that?
Well, I wanted to do everything myself because there aren't many females out there who singularly write all the songs and play all the instruments. I can only think of a handful, and even then they sort of steer clear of guitars.
3) Does it pay the bills? Does it matter?
It doesn't pay the bills, and probably never will. But that's okay, because if I wasn't living off of my family I'd be living off the government. Thanks, narcolepsy!
4) What book did you last read?
This may sound pretentious as hell, but honestly it was Chomsky vs. Foucault - Debate on Human Nature. It was a no-holds-barred philosophical juggernaut that wrote a check its ass totally cashed.
5) What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Energy.
6) What achievement are you most happy about so far?
I'm psyched that I've almost completed my second album, although it's been like pulling teeth getting the goddamn thing finished. Most people haven't even made ONE album. I'll have made TWO.
7) What is your most treasured possession?
I have a handmade sterling silver mourning ring from Colonial Williamsburg that I sometimes wear. There's a winged skull on it; the colonists used to give them out at funerals.
8) Have you swooned in the cinema?
Yes, over Jason Statham in Crank. And over Gerard Butler in Dracula 2000. Twice.
9) Do you have a hero?
I don't have a hero as much as I have a laundry list of people I'd like to lick clean with my tongue.
10) What is your motto or favourite expression or both?
"If you kill yourself, you've won the argument!"

I love girls that sing and play instruments. But for Miley Cyrus not so much...
