I think, it is a challenge to get critics or whoever to see past what you wear and makeup and the way you look and just concentrate on the music.

I feel more confident if my makeup looks good.

I don't really have a style icon but I really admire the way people dress like Gaga, Rihanna and Gwen Stefani. It's good to be inspired by singers who write music and dress incredibly - rather than models and people in the fashion industry who dress immaculately anyway because it's their style.

I can fall in love in a simple way, but I can dissect it in such an intense fashion when it ends.

I used to be obsessed with Pearl Jam, but I love having pink hair and kind of looking like a Barbie.

I believe in the moment of things and fate and things happening for a reason, so I write things down and I trust it.

My mum was too busy raising four of us to encourage my hopes. But I'm glad I had the upbringing I did. It made me a worrier and a thoughtful, curious person.
