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.

It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.

I think women in pop have been declawed and defanged, and they're just meant to look pretty and sing pretty.

I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.

I wouldn't say that cutting was pleasurable, but there is a sense of euphoria that follows cutting yourself. The quick pinch of pain and the sight of blood snaps you back to the surface and you start to appreciate being alive.

I am not a sexy woman, I'm not beautiful, I'm not a sex kitten, I don't flirt with people, yet I've been tagged more of sex symbol than women who truly are and I that's solely because I don't reveal too much: people are curious.

You know, it doesn’t matter how beautiful you are, if you don’t have anything interesting to say, then you’re still boring.
