dressing-up choices dresses
My fancy dress costume of choice is... something 1920s or 30s, when there was still so much elegance and attention to detail. An excuse for ultimate dressing-up indulgence.
thinking people want
If a hundred people want autographs, sometimes you have to say no because you've got to get up for a 4 A.M. flight or something. In that sense, it really pisses me off when people think you've become a diva. It's not becoming a diva, it's because of the situation, I think.
song writing random-things
I record stuff all the time, like little vocal things. I write random things down... Sometimes I just get things stuck in my head and I record them, and that actually becomes a song quite a lot of the time.
brother guitar passionate
I played recorder in assembly, then I became passionate about the guitar, I don't know why. I started on electric then moved to acoustic - my brother was playing bass in the next room.
thinking hype stronger
I think hype is a good thing. You need it and it'll teach you valuable things and you'll grow stronger, which is what I've done.
stuff designer whim
I love designer stuff but like it will only be like, on a whim. I love Alexander Wang so much, but it's expensive.
challenges looks booty
I feel like my figure is a challenge because I'm quite flat chested but I've got a booty so I've got to look for the right things.
christmas snow cold
Christmas in L.A. is weird. There's no snow. It's not even cold.
crazy choir
Bjork, I'd love to do something with her. I'd love to do some sort of crazy orchestral choir thing with her.
writing thinking diaries
The only really safe thing to do is to write a diary of where you've been, what time you went to bed, what you ate. If I wrote honestly about everything I think it'd be a disaster. It would cause a lot of trouble.
hate dressing-up people
I'd hate it to become style over substance, I'd hate people to start putting me in a magazine article about my style. I don't like dressing up in something I'm not necessarily comfortable in just to make it more of a show. I want the power to come from what I sing about and how I sing.
hair barbie jam
I used to be obsessed with Pearl Jam, but I love having pink hair and kind of looking like a Barbie.
