Edie Sedgwick had a cool style; she pushed the envelope for the time.

People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna's wearing f-ckin' leather jackets, and it's really annoying . . . (My style is) high-class hooker. I dress for myself. Clearly, it's provocative, but it makes me feel good. And if the only reason it makes someone uncomfortable is because I'm 17, then that person's a scumbag because it shouldn't matter.

Generally, I like making my own mistakes and learning from them because that's what I think life is about.

Don't hate me for what tabloids write about me, because I guarantee it's a lie.

I didn't watch a lot of TV growing up; I watched more films.

Like, when I write a song, the song comes first before production. Everything is written on an acoustic guitar so you can strip away everything from it and have it be equally as entertaining and good without the bells and whistles.

I don't wanna be Courtney Love - I wanna be Kurt Cobain.
