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.

When something looks too good to be true, it usually is.

It wasn't my intention in going after this part but I suppose now I do. The adult roles are a lot meatier - you're not always just the daughter or the girlfriend or whatever.

I've always loved the fashion of the '30s and everything that came with the Art Deco era - the jewelry and the glamour.

I'm an actor, so I love to be degraded!

I think I kind of came out of the womb singing. I think I was, like, born at the hospital, and, you know, popped out, and was singing. ... I'm not sure really how it happened. I can't remember a time when I wasn't singing, or banging a beat on the dinner table...

I just really gravitate towards a nostalgia for a time when things were simpler. When beauty was more classical and glamorous.
