At first it was my brother's songwriting and I was just doing what everyone told me.

I was thinking that when I have children, that I should always dress as a character for them, so they think their mom is Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella. It would be totally messed up!

My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now. That's a huge, huge thing.

I remember the day I discovered James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. I don't know why it affected me so strongly, but I walked down to the corner store and bought every poster of them, and I did my whole room up. Overnight.

Fashion is an extension of your personality, and I've always been obsessed. I always want to have something different than everybody else.

Working with (new collaborators) and letting people in to try new melodies and new lyrical ideas was very hard.

Generally I would say that I'm not a super-adventurous shadow girl. I'm all about a lip, eyebrow, and mascara, but through the years, working with different talented makeup artists, I learned how awesome eye makeup can be if you get it right. That's how we got the colors we came up with.
