"Femme’s just really cool. She has pink hair and makes really clever, intelligent pop music. I’m taking her on tour with me. In this song, which has ’60s element, she strings together incredible words in a talk-rap style. It makes me feel really cool, and I guess that’s why I like it"

"New Zealand’s greatest novel and the one book that will transport me instantly home. Three disparate characters come together to form a fragile and unlikely family; their need to connect at odds with their fear of attachment. One of those books that wipes you out, no matter how many times you read it."

"A series of co-written essays that set into motion expansive, mutinous, timely concepts, such as study, debt, surround, planning and the shipped. A difficult, beautiful, vertiginous, fortifying and enlivening piece of work that somehow makes the contemporary world, with all its horrors, seem worth being born into and living in, together."
