When you're seventeen years old, green and inexperienced, you're grateful for any guidance and direction you can get.

I wouldn't feel right wearing clothes covering my body.

Blues and soul and jazz music has so much pain, so much beauty of raw emotion and passion.

There's a witch under this hair. The red lips are - I don't want to call them "armor," but they're the clothes of my character, and I'm in the business of entertainment. Wearing red lipstick helps get me into that world.

I just kick off my shoes, walk around barefoot, I don't care if my feet get dirty.

I am very honest, even in interviews.
