I love Audrey Hepburn, early Brooke Shields, and Madonnas eyebrows. I think its beautiful if women look soft and touchable instead of hard, sharp and aggressively groomed.

I definitely like performing to a crowd that's there to see a female hero.

I don't listen to music, actually. Obviously I go to clubs; I stand in elevators; a lot of my friends are musicians; I hear music all the time. But I don't have my own collection of music.

If people go into music with the idea of competing with other artists, then they're doing it for all the wrong reasons.

My dad went to jail for a long time. We lost everything, and the situation never resolved itself. My parents had this sort of passionate, disastrous desire for each other - not ideal to grow up in.

I feel like all Londoners relate more to New York - L.A. doesn't feel like a 'city' city. It's like a sleepy town.

I don't really know what 'a dark place' means. I have windows in my house, and I'm generally an upbeat person! A lot of people throw that word at me because I wear a lot of black and leather.
