girl years names
I got to live out my 11-year-old fantasies - I got to go on stage with Green Day. Billie Joe called my name from the stage. 'Dookie' was the first album I ever bought. I covered the whole of 'Nimrod' and he'd heard it. That was like the 11-year-old girl dreamed.
song nice father
I was having a conversation with my father and he was talking about this thing - strangeness and charm. It's actually the name of the two smallest particles that there are when you split the atom, so I wrote a song around it. I even managed to fit the word 'hydrogen' in there. Isn't that a nice thing for scientists to call them though?
beautiful dog artist
I saw 'The Artist.' It's really beautiful and it's all done to the letter with all the silent film techniques. The costumes were amazing and the dog is so good.
drama thinking artist
I quite like the drama of an encore. I think an encore is for those artists who are inclined to do dramatic gestures, and I certainly would say I am inclined towards them.
jeans looks odd
I look really odd in jeans and a hoodie - it doesn't feel or seem right.
clothes old-lady
I like to wear clothes that I will wear when I am an old lady.
fighting my-sister like-a-sister
I get in fights with my sister all the time. She comes on the road with me and we fight - like sisters do.
real self streaks
I definitely have a real self-destructive streak.
thinking two people
I think an encore is perfectly acceptable, but I find it so weird when people do two or three.
ideas bird
I like the idea of taking off like a bird.
boys years eight
I used to dress like an eight-year-old boy. Traveling has inspired me to be more experimental.
band stuff touring
Touring, and being in a band, it's almost like the other stuff, the other parts of life, get put on hold.
running mean rivers
If you see a river running smoothly, it's because someone has drowned in it, and if it's raging, it means that it's still got bloodlust.
singing losing-yourself fantastic
All the words are already there when you're singing onstage, it's fantastic. You can lose yourself in what you've created. You're controlling this freedom.
