Even being close to L.A., I was always inspired by old movies and Marilyn Monroe and the glamour of Hollywood.

My songs are basically my diaries. Some of my best songwriting has come out of time when I've been going through a personal nightmare.

I've been spoiled being in the fashion business. My son will be like, 'Mommy, 20 new pairs of shoes came today. How come?' Because I'm always telling him it's not normal to have 20 pairs of tennis shoes to try on before school.

When you discover your sexuality - like when you're little, you don't notice it. Then suddenly you're walking down the street and you're whistled at. And you're like, Oh, I have this power I didn't know about. And you also discover you're kind of prey. And you're like, Wait, that's confusing.

I'm kind of lazy. I like to lie around with my husband and watch TV and stuff like that.

I think after doing Push and Shove and having it not be successful, I lost a lot of confidence. Songwriting, for me, has always been traumatic, and I've always made all these excuses. But I've realized that you have to just accept that it was a gift: "I don't know where it came from, I don't know how I did it, but I did write all those songs, and I gotta do it again."

People can say whatever they want to about me... and I don't get too affected. But I didn't want them to think I was a failure.
