I'm a very determined person.

My priorities had been changing before I had Addie but after she was born they changed completely. I don't count - my daughter sort of owns me.

As a child, I was very shy. Painfully, excruciatingly shy. I hid a lot in my room. I was so terrified to read out loud in school that I had to have my mother ask my reading teacher not to call on me in class.

You never stop the measuring process because these are oceans that are so deep that they have no bottom, and it takes a long time to know that. It only goes to a higher place after you've gone to the depths where you think there's a bottom - and when you find out that there is no bottom, it just rises up into this plume of euphoria.

My dad was a musician, and that was his first love, and I think probably, to be really honest, it was my first love as well.

If you look at this generation of selfies and selfies and selfies, it seems a little bit scary. I like to see a driven kid, somebody who wants to come from the ground up.

Children need to grow up and make their own decisions - how they want to pierce their bodies or do whatever they need to.
