I'm lucky I have really cool parents.

Everyone's just a freak, but some people are trying to hide it and some people embrace it.

I really don’t care what people think.

I have a dark side. I think everyone does.

Live in the moment. Feel everything you want to feel. And maybe have a couple of drinks if you're nervous, I guess.

I want to have tampons as merch that say ‘Periods are punk.'

Vivienne Westwood really inspires me. I love her punk ethos.

When I first started, I wasn't really aware of anything in the industry or aware of who I really was. I just put my music out there and tried to get as many people to hear it as possible.

A good song can make you smile, or it can make you dance or laugh or remind you of a moment.

I like the whole laid-back rapping. I wish I could rap! I wish I could wrap like Azealia Banks or Lil Wayne or someone like that.

I see music in colours. I love music that's black, pink, purple or red - but I hate music that's green, yellow or brown.

I didn't know who Langston Hughes was till he met me backstage.

What Strauss is going through drives you nuts. If you care about your batting - which I'm sure he does - he will feel like jumping off a bridge and committing suicide

1992 became known as the 'Year of the Woman' because so many of us were elected to public office that November, including a record six to the United States Senate.

Human nature must have come much nearer perfection than it is now, or will be in many generations, to exclude from such a control prejudice, selfishness, ambition, and injustice.

Passing my motorcycle theory test gave me a disproportionate feeling of greatness.

To finish is sadness to a writer — a little death. He puts the last word down and it is done. But it isn't really done. The story goes on and leaves the writer behind, for no story is ever done.

That's the easy thing about falling: there is only one choice after that.

We're kind of like the smoking section in high school. We're immature, keep to ourselves.

The kind of acting that's wholly literary or cerebral is wrong. It's useless for me to have actors so much in their heads that they can't be organic.

I give life to that which I notice. What I don't notice dies.
