I've always connected with music. Life's not always what you see; it's what going on in your head. Music is what comes out of your subconscious.

I feel like you just need to keep writing until the writing itself just begins to take shape.

Music gets inside you, music captures you. Music becomes your heartbeat. It’s a drug and makes you feel whatever the song’s about.

I think gardens are fantastic, and I'd love to draw and design and stuff like that. I love just planting flowers during the summer. There's something very humble about it, and natural and beautiful.

I like the glamorous indie rock look, like The Libertines. But you know, without the heroin needle sticking out of my arm.

I was just doing bits and pieces of acting in the UK. I'd been in the film Breaking and Entering - Anthony Minghella gave me my start and I miss him dearly. Then I made the trip out to LA, during one of their pilot seasons, which was when they were developing Gossip Girl, and I auditioned, and things came together.

I don't want to do something where I play a kid in a school. And I don't understand these spoof movies.
