I try not to be but I'm super-neurotic about diet. I'm neurotic about trying not to be neurotic! I'm like every other girl. I have to try really hard my whole life to try to be fit. And I'm super-vain. And I want to wear cute clothes.
There's nothing that compares to being in a band with your best friends. We're so comfortable together, we understand each other. It feels, like, normal. Whereas solo period felt like I was trying to be something, and play a role, and pretend.
You can't plan anything, right? You can try.
I'm neurotic about trying not to be neurotic!
I've been trying to do films for years. So I've decided to wait until the next good part comes along and develop a record on my own in the meantime.

I wasn't a cheerleader or in the choir. I didnt have loads of friends.
I think me and Snoop look really good together tonight.
I thought I was good at mixing things up, ... but I realize Andrea is even better. I don't have her refinement.
I'm stupidly crazy for old movies. I (record) them so that when I'm doing my makeup in the morning, I have them on. I can be like: 'Look at Jane Russell in that shiny leopard dress - I'm copying that.'
That was it. Suddenly you hit puberty, and it's like, you know, thrift stores! I just started deconstructing everything from thrift stores.
