Taylor Swift is so flawless, and so unattainable, and I don't think it's breeding anything good in young girls.

The smarter the person, the more boring the instagram account.

I find this curious - two photos from today, one edited so my skin is perfect and one real. remember flaws are ok.

I know when I'm onstage, I don't think about how it looks, I just concentrate on really feeling what I hear. But I totally know I look like Gollum when I perform, so it's cool.

The way I dress and carry myself, a lot of people find it intimidating. I think my whole career can be boiled down to the one word I always say in meetings: strength.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been into clothes, but not really labels- that's kind of only been in the last year or so. It's something I've always cared about. I used to just constantly thrift and make stuff and cut stuff up and borrow my dad's stuff and borrow my little brother's stuff and all that jazz. ... It's just, if something is cool, then it's cool.

Don't be afraid. Be the kind of person your mother warned you about.
