I roll with bodyguards when I go back home to South Africa.

I got irritated with people asking us the same questions. Like, 'Are you a real band?' Journalists wanted to slay us, tried to cut us down, and I just started caring less and less about doing interviews. With Facebook and Instagram, you kind of don't need to anyway. But now and again, we'll do something when there's new information to share.

From Yolandi Visser

I wanted to be a cool mom. It was hectic. I felt very isolated for a long time, but in the end, it was cool because it helped me and Ninja stick together. If we hadn't, we would have maybe drifted.

From Yolandi Visser

I always make a decision, even if it's the wrong one. I hate being confused.

From Yolandi Visser

It was hard to write or compose... we just had to go back and finish making songs. If we make 20 songs, we'll throw away 10.

From Yolandi Visser

Attention, it just comes and goes. Since we don't have a major label, it's like, what are we gonna do next? You have to make your own decisions.

From Yolandi Visser

People are flying you places in business class. Everyone wants to take pictures of you and find out information about you. It's a freak-out. But the more you push boundaries, the more you get ahead.

From Yolandi Visser

It's weird how people were always asking us, 'Are you real? Are you joking?' That seems like something Americans care about a lot. You can't answer the question 'Are you real?' If we're anything, we're documentary fiction.

From Yolandi Visser

Leaving Interscope was not a personal thing. These record companies are a certain kind of machine, and we weren't able to function in it.

From Yolandi Visser

You can't try and make something you think someone else will like. You can only make what you like. How can you make a song that Yo-Landi Visser likes? You don't know me. You'll never understand me.
