Some people watch comedy to relax. I watch '21 Grams.' I can recognize sadness and tragedy really easily because it's been with me forever.
During the day, I don't wear much makeup; I only put on makeup for the show.
The music that I listen to is very minimalistic. I listen to a lot of old blues that is just guitar and vocals.
I think everything in life comes in threes: heartbreak and all that. You've got to do the full round in order to learn.
I remember watching films in my teenage years, and you'd be in love with Leonardo DiCaprio, and then a song would come on. You'd love that song forever; it changed your life.
I went to 11 different schools. It was a fantastic adventure, but I was incredibly sensitive and needed a bit more stability.
I will never get to Lady Gaga's status. That's not something I want.
For men, it's about finding the perfect shoe or the perfect pants that will last you through the years. That's how I want to shop: sustainable, classic, great quality.
I always strive for freedom: freedom of thought and expression.
Being on tour really takes a toll, so you have to find ways to stay healthy.
I love pouring my heart out. People don't want to hear you whine when you're with friends, so you can sing about it instead - it's the best outlet.
I think I've been a bit misunderstood; the first record was more timid than I wanted it to be. I don't like getting pinned down by sex or how I sound like because it's not who I am or what I want to be.
I'm really depressing. Some people watch comedy to relax. I watch 21 Grams. I can recognize sadness and tragedy really easily because it's been with me forever.
My whole art is based on escaping life and reality, which might not the best tendency to have when you're trying to be a good person in general. But people can escape into my world easily - artists are supposed to create a keyhole that people can look into.
