M.I.A. is my hero! Pitchfork: Kanye West recently said some interesting things about the immediacy of music versus fashion—silk is too expensive, etc. M.I.A.: I was saying that 10 years ago. I had £100 and a lot of time and I didn’t have to go anywhere. At that time, I was shooting a documentary, but it was too expensive to edit. I was borrowing a friend’s computer because I didn’t have my own. I was making art, but I didn’t know how to show my paintings to 15-year-olds in the hood. I hate the idea of street art. With music, I just needed my brain and my voice, which didn’t cost anything. It was the perfect thing to do. I was like, “Wow, I can make something for a teenager in Kazakhstan.”
