girl new-york tired
I'm tired of being around men all the time. I'm going to start a band called Skirt with three girls and I'll play the guitar and sing backing vocals in drag. I went window shopping when I was in New York, saw a lot of amazing dresses.
being-in-love freak
I love being a freak. It's great!
everyday everyday-life music-is
Music is about expressing things you can't in everyday life.
hangover mean mirrors
When every day became a hangover and when you look at yourself in the mirror and go 'I don't like how you're coming across to people.' and when every day just started to feel the same. After the 50th shag, it doesn't mean so much anymore.
thinking insecurity arrogance
I had a great deal of arrogance and a great deal of bravado, but I think the bravado was brought on by a huge insecurity.
fun dresses
The more you'll dress up the more fun you'll have.
limp-bizkit jokes
I'm really bad with jokes. I would have to say Limp Bizkit.
everyday littles used
I used to fly off the handle in everyday life, but I'm a little calmer now.
mirrors personality sides
The extreme side of my personality, which I chose to sort of display, was snowballing and getting a life of its own. It was like looking in a mirror and not recognising myself.
football mother believe
There's a difference between 'glamour' and 'glam rock'. Glam rock, to me, is a bunch of straight, hairy, football-liking lager lads dressed up in mother's castoffs and glamour is a certain sophistication, a certain other-worldliness, a certain unattainableness, which I think we certainly calculate. We believe that a band should be slightly larger than life - you should be transported to an alternate reality. I'm giving you some really good answers here, I'm very proud of myself.
being-yourself individuality proud
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but clones kind of get it wrong because we are promoting individuality and being proud of being yourself.
dresses social stage
Dresses, I find, are impractical in social situations, but I enjoy wearing them a great deal on stage.
names people important
Names for bands lose their meaning after a little while. They become a series of sounds that you associate with people in music, really. The most important thing about choosing a name for a band is if you can imagine forty-thousand people screaming it in unison.
believe black-and-white desire
I believe very strongly that when it comes to desire, when it comes to attraction, that things are never black and white, things are very much shades of grey.
