I've never had my brows done - I tweeze them myself. I used to watch my mom pluck her brows, that's how I learned.

I don't really live my life in the media spotlight. People don't know that much really about me or what I think.

When a really cute dog shows up on your doorstep, you can't be like, Yeah, no. You're like, Oh, yay, puppy!

When I was in school, I got there on the first day and everyone had long, blonde, straight hair, and I had short, dark, curly hair. I immediately felt I didn't fit in and started growing my hair. But I've learned that I'm only happy when I am truly me and feel comfortable and confident in myself.

I'd say that my musical influences are anywhere from pop-rock electronica, new age and classical. But I think that specifically, bands - I love Jem, I love Sigur Ross, I love David Gray, I love Elliot Smith... a lot of different people. But I don't find lyrical inspiration from anybody.

I feel like I've come out of this grown up, maybe because I live through the character vicariously and she grows up so much during the course of this story.
