Her mother is Korean and father is Polish. She grew up in New Jersey, went to Dwight-Englewood high school, and attended Oberlin College, but transferred to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
Orzolek has been noted for her sense of fashion. All of her costumes are designed by fashion designer and friend Christian Joy. She is also well known for her outrageous antics during live shows. She is known to often spit water or beer, or sometimes grapes into the crowd. Her on-stage antics have been compared to punk legends like Iggy Pop and Patti Smith. In 2003 at The Metro, Sydney, Australia (prior to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' appearance at the Livid festival), she accidentally danced off the stage at a sideshow and reluctantly had to be taken to hospital - a few days later she appeared at the festival in a wheelchair, pushed by Angus Andrew.
She currently lives in Los Angeles, California, in the Silver Lake neighbourhood.

Karen O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you love somebody, anybody
There will always be someone else
So make it right for yourself
If you love somebody, anybody
Take the time for yourself
Read it in their eyes, know it deep inside
Make it right for yourself
If you love somebody, anybody
There will always be someone else
So make it right for yourself

Karen O makes the point that there will always be other people in the world, but that doesn't mean one should neglect their own happiness and well-being for the sake of a romantic partner. She suggests that taking the time to truly understand one's own feelings and desires is crucial in any relationship, and that true love involves mutual respect and understanding of each other's individual needs.
Overall, these lyrics highlight the idea of self-love being essential to a fulfilling and healthy romantic relationship.
