My legs are really long and that's cool apparently, but I'm totally klutzy. I mean, I'm like Bambi. I fall all over myself because I can't control my arms and my really long legs.
I try not to focus on fame; I don't even really know what it means exactly because it's so fleeting.
I get told all the time that I'm a fashion icon now, but I don't really know what that means. I just get dressed.
I mean yeah, your individual style is your impression to the world.
The thing people don't understand is that touring or travelling or whatever you do in my position means you go to all these cool places all over the world, but you see everything from a car window. You don't get to see much of the city or meet people at all.
The Beatles did everything first, and they did it the best.
I'm not happy if I'm not making music; it's as simple as that. It's a need.
I'm a big fan of Die Antwoord, which is a different style than I normally listen to.
Switching the public's perception and view of me was, and still is, kind of a challenge to get them to see me outside of a character that I played on TV for so long.
You get more insight as you get older, on everything.
I sleep for about four hours a night, or day really. I go to bed at, like, 9 A.M., sleep for four hours, then get up and start the day again. I don't mind if that's not healthy.
I've been writing songs since I was, like, five and I've been singing since, like, I can't remember.
I've been told I'm out of my mind since I was 11.
One of my first favorite records was the debut Garbage album, which I heard when I was very young. Shirley Manson is a great female vocalist and performer and I admire her for that.
