If I'm creating something for myself, then I want to have fun.
I need a costume to be convinced that I'm somebody else. Otherwise, it's just me. It's just Amy saying lines. I haven't really become somebody else. And what's the fun in that?
I'm drawn to people who look different. I'm not exploiting. I'm not making fun of them. I'm drawn to them.
I always want to look unattractive, it's more fun. I like playing opposites, people who aren't attractive who think they are pretty. That's always interesting to me.
The moment someone says, 'Hey, everyone, listen to the words in this song,' your party is over.
It's all about process to me - as long as it's fun to me, I don't care about the final product.
I have a lot of fake food in my apartment, but I'm picky about it. Old plaster food, like from the '50s is really nice, hollowed out paper-mache food from old plays - the new stuff just looks too good.
I'm very domestic; I love cleaning. I love cooking. I like waiting on people. I just like to make things. I don't break that down to be weakness, or the only things women can do, or putting me back 20 years.
I like people who would rather something be discovered than shoved in your face.
I like crafts that are made out of necessity because they're a little naive - you made it because you needed it.
I've never done heroin or slept with people for money or anything.
We're all used to seeing pretty people. I want to see real people.
More men than women like 'Strangers With Candy'. Pretty girls don't like the show. They don't like to see an ugly lady.
I feel so free and open to ideas, and I get inspired by everything.
