I’m very sensitive – I’ll cry during every movie or commercial – but when it comes to my own feelings, I don’t really think about them that much unless I’m making music. Otherwise, I’m either checked out or laughing because that’s how I do regular stuff. I have a hard time talking about my feelings. Perfume Genius Read Quote
I felt like an outsider, so listening to a bunch of outsiders’ music like Bjork and Patti Smith made me feel better. But at the same time, I didn’t have anyone singing specifically 100% about things I could relate to. Perfume Genius Read Quote
I have this idea of myself that I decided when I was 12 about who I am and how I come across and what the world is like. And if I have changed or the world has changed, I don’t even notice sometimes because I’m holding on to these old ideas. I am more confident – the music is proof. But I can see the change there much easier than I do as a human. Perfume Genius Read Quote
Loved ‘Get Out,’ super good from start to finish. I mean, it had everything you’d want in a movie. It was funny, scary, and it wasn’t stupid. It was a smart movie but not in a fussy way. It was so good. Perfume Genius Read Quote
I don’t dislike ‘It’ or ‘Stranger Things,’ but I’m just not as super into it, because, like, I’ve seen ‘E.T.’ a lot. And I’ve watched ‘The Goonies.’ Perfume Genius Read Quote
I think people have a hard time dealing with a bunch of things at once. They can’t have something be disturbing and funny at the same time. They can’t have that kind of combination. Which is weird to me because I feel complicated about most things. Perfume Genius Read Quote
Whenever anything ‘gay’ comes along, everybody wants that thing to somehow be everything to everybody. And usually, it is too gay or not gay enough. There’s never the right amount. I think that happens a little bit in the media. Perfume Genius Read Quote
