Women have been doing very, very strange things for centuries. I mean ancient Egyptians were already doing that, but I don't necessarily judge people who do. I don't really think it makes people look better; they just look different.
Some days I'm very lazy, and some days I'm more inspired. I've got things I've had since I was fifteen-I don't throw anything away. I prefer to give it to a friend so I can wear it again...The way I dress doesn't necessarily have to do with fashion, or what is current, or what is in right now, it's more about rediscovering things.
When you're onstage, you're acutely aware of the reaction of a particular group of people, because it's like a wave.

It seems like people increasingly just can't be by themselves because they're so used to having an epicenter on the Internet that actually exists for other people. Until someone clicks onto your Facebook page, it doesn't mean anything.
There's a lot of anti-Semitism, and it's not just against the Jewish.
My husband keeps me really honest.
