I try not to be but I'm super-neurotic about diet. I'm neurotic about trying not to be neurotic! I'm like every other girl. I have to try really hard my whole life to try to be fit. And I'm super-vain. And I want to wear cute clothes.
There's nothing that compares to being in a band with your best friends. We're so comfortable together, we understand each other. It feels, like, normal. Whereas solo period felt like I was trying to be something, and play a role, and pretend.
You can't plan anything, right? You can try.
I'm neurotic about trying not to be neurotic!
I've been trying to do films for years. So I've decided to wait until the next good part comes along and develop a record on my own in the meantime.
Just don't wake me up! ... Because I'm saying, that was pretty great. That was beyond any dream I've ever had. It was so incredible, just to be able to have a show and to be able to share it with everyone in that kind of way ... and all these unbelievable, beautiful, tall skinny girls that I just want to hit because they're so pretty, walking in the clothes. It was extraordinary.
I remember when I was in school, they would ask, ''What are you going to be when you grow up?'' and then you'd have to draw a picture of it. I drew a picture of myself as a bride.
Yeah, it's fun. I love talking about myself. And its yummy right now in the heat ...
I think me and Snoop look really good together tonight.
I'm stupidly crazy for old movies. I (record) them so that when I'm doing my makeup in the morning, I have them on. I can be like: 'Look at Jane Russell in that shiny leopard dress - I'm copying that.'
Suddenly the song had this attitude, ... It was like, kind of, 'Oh! Where did the attitude come from?'
That was it. Suddenly you hit puberty, and it's like, you know, thrift stores! I just started deconstructing everything from thrift stores.
That was the first time we'd worked outside the group with songwriters, and it was really awkward. That's what defines us as a band, writing, so it was a brave and crazy experiment, It was uncomfortable in the studio, but Hella Good has become one of our staple songs,
I'm really emotional. I don't fight with people - like, I can barely fight with my husband because I'll just start crying instead. I've learned not to do that.
