“I still love the skinny jeans thing and I wear my favorite leather jacket constantly. I like being kind of a rock star. I love that I can feel comfortable in a small dress or I can feel comfortable wearing a baggy T-shirt.”

Even if a relationship doesn’t work out, you can always take something positive from something negative. You never know what’s around the corner.

One of the most powerful feelings in the world is after a really, really long run.

Apparently I’m introspective, levelheaded, but at the same time, absolutely insane.

It took time to really build myself a reputation as a good live performer, a musician and an artist.

I definitely write about a lot of dreamy, surreal stuff. I do end up going to a surreal world with my music, but I also like the idea of there being really real stuff as well.

Now, if some panic hits me, you have to sort of be friends with your body, it’s like your body will work against you.

I would never create an image for myself; I’m not that clever.

I believe in the moment of things and fate and things happening for a reason, so I write things down and I trust it.

I wrote a lot of poetry that was based on stories of the sea and I was really inspired by that.

The very first song I wrote was about a boy that I was obsessed with.

My favourite people to follow on Twitter are… my fans. They make me laugh so much and keep me smiling.

What people don’t understand is that how you are as an artist depends on how you are emotionally.

I think, it is a challenge to get critics or whoever to see past what you wear and makeup and the way you look and just concentrate on the music.

I believe that when you have fans, they invest in you not just as a singer but as a person as well. It’s not enough to just have good songs and a good voice.

I used to be obsessed with Pearl Jam, but I love having pink hair and kind of looking like a Barbie.

I’m never happy with my face, my hair, I haven’t really got any boobs and I’m not really that tall.

It is the business of a virtuous clergy to censure vice in every appearance of it.

I’d rather wear jewels in my hair than anywhere else. The face should have the advantage of this brilliance.

If you ever get started on the right path to change, there is one important precondition you have to meet. You must rid yourself of that gnawing and overpowering sense of urgency and panic that always seems to appear on the scene.

Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid.

Dirt makes a man look masculine. Let your hair blow in the wind, and all that. It’s OK. All you have to do is look neat when you have to look neat.

When people appear to be something other than good and decent, it is only because they are reacting to stress, pain, or the deprivation of basic human needs such as security, love, and self-esteem.

If all you can do is judge a person by their appearance because you don’t have the spirit to judge someone from within, you’re in trouble.

The reason we’re successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course.
