I've never been an idiot - I was a smart girl but I'd do stupid things like go around Asda and nick stuff because my friends told me to. I was a good girl as a teenager.
I wanted to be Snoopy's girlfriend and when I got older I wanted to be Bart Simpson's girlfriend. Then I couldn't decide whether I wanted marry Snoopy or Michael Jackson - because he was God to me - or to just be them.
I like stylish men although I'm someone who sees a man who's not dressed right and think what I could do with him to make him cute. I'm a typical Jewish woman like that.
The more people see of me, the more they'll realize that all I'm good for is MAKING MUSIC.
The dark covers me and I cannot run now.
I always said I never wanted to write about love, but then I went and did that anyway.
I've never been a boyfriend kind of girl.
I've had everything pierced at some point.
Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.
A little bit of anorexia, a little bit of bulimia. I'm not totally OK now but I don't think any woman is.
If you're nice to me I'll never write anything bad about you.
I don't have emotional needs, only physical ones.
I love America, it's a much more permissive place.
I've got a crush on my backing singer.
