For me, once I've worked on something and it's finished, it's like an ex-boyfriend: you don't go back to them.

I toned down my accent at school; otherwise, people would pick on me.

I was bullied. I was a bit of a geek. Good-looking guys were off-limits. I didn't start dating until I was 18.

I really like Billie Holiday's husky voice, and I'd definitely like to find out more about her.

If I am not working, I won't wear makeup and I will wear flats.

Most of my cousins are boys, so I'm used to being around boys.

Working on new projects gives you the opportunity to learn and absorb new things.
