My two style icons are Edie Sedgwick and Brigitte Bardot.

I would really love to go to Thailand as so many people have told me how wonderful it is.

I love dressing for the winter - especially in baggy chunky cardigans.

I just always wanted to be a singer. My mom said I was even singing in my cot!

I don't believe in open relationships. If you want to be with someone else, you shouldn't be in a relationship in the first place.

I'm a really bad liar. My mom finds out every time, especially now that she's got Facebook.

I think honesty is a big part. Because when you sing live, you want the audience to believe you.

I don't try to pretend to be what I'm not. I don't feel I need to do anything outrageous.

I just like boys who are good-looking, really! I like people who are tall with a good sense of style. My faves are the indie look, the smart look or the surfer look.

I can't imagine ever not making music, making albums, writing songs, doing shows. That's all I really know, and that's all I really do.

Fashion is a reflection of your personality, so have fun and experiment.

Politics is a mirror with an untamed tongue

We are so used to releasing words. We don't know what to do with them if they stay.

What is important to me is there has been consensus and clarity, (and) much better coordination. We'll be much quicker to control avian influenza as a result.

I like to imagine, if I was in the 1930s and was rich and a psychopathic killer, I probably would be moving about very freely and having a lot of fun.

The function of the actor is to make the audience imagine for the moment that real things are happening to real people.

The opera tells the story with all the built-in contradictions and from many different angles.

People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you've figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence.

I have often said that it doesn't matter to me if a student tells me he is a leader of the left, unless he is a good student. We need good students.

The video of 'Paranoid Android' has been censored by MTV. They took all nipples out of the cartoon, but they had no problem with the scene in which a man cuts off his own arms and legs.

Sometimes limbo is a tolerable place to be stuck.
