My thing about going to the gym is that I leave my bracelets on, and I put on my makeup the way I would do it in real life, and I wear cute clothes, because if I don't feel good when I leave the house, then I'm not motivated to do it. I need to like how I look while I'm doing it.
My mum's really short so she always wears really tall heels, and I used to steal them and now it's just a part of my everyday life.
The goal as a musician, I think, is to be able to make music as a living for the rest of your life.
'Darkness' is a subjective word; it depends what your viewpoint is and how you live life.
Generally, I like making my own mistakes and learning from them because that's what I think life is about.
I'm just living my life, and I'm not gonna live my life for other people.
You can spend your whole life planning. But once you're ready, get out there and start doing it.
I'd call my music rock but with pop hooks.
I kind of woke up one morning and was like, 'Oh I see what's happening, I get everything'. I woke up and was like, 'I get it, I'm a product.'
My whole thing is feel free to hate me - I so don't care if you hate me, but meet me, and listen to my record, and know me before you hate me.
You get more insight as you get older, on everything.
Maybe I didn't have the childhood people think you should have, but I still went through the ages; I was still a child.
Pop has to exist and it's a great thing.
One of my first favorite records was the debut Garbage album, which I heard when I was very young. Shirley Manson is a great female vocalist and performer and I admire her for that.
