I'm fairly in control and I don't like to flirt particularly. I mean, obviously if I meet someone who I think is hot, of course I'll want to flirt with him, But in general I don't use it in day-to-day life.

We're living in a time when people are struggling to appear perfect.

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

No, I like being a role model because I know how much comfort my musical idols brought me.

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

Possibly because I grew up not feeling very confident about my own physical appearance, I developed internal devices so that I could integrate into society.

You don't really hear a female perspective on the radio, because so many of the songs are being written by men.
