Being a musician makes you very - musicians in general tend to be quite sensitive, I think, to the environment around them, which helps when you are trying to interact with others on screen, to be aware, to be sensitive, and to try to understand what's going on in the scene.

I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.

I like the feeling that I'm giving young women self-confidence. It sounds so cliched, but it can be very moving.

I'm afraid of happy people. They're chemically unbalanced.

I was a redhead and a middle child; both can make you feel excluded. It's like fighting to be included, in the swim of things. After a while you start to develop a bit of a victim mentality, which isn't great for a happy life.

I don't find any kind of tension very productive, I find it destructive, actually.

I want to hear an alternative viewpoint, and I don't want girls to be defanged and declawed and pretty and mute.
