I don't leave the house without thinking of how to represent myself.
I think that me now, I wouldn't take a 16-year-old seriously in any capacity. "You're a kid, why would I listen to you? You're a child."
Everyone likes to stereotype things or write them off as not that serious or "this is just a phase," especially when you're that young. The music was never a phase, but the wardrobe was certainly a phase, so I think that may have overshadowed the music in the beginning, for sure. I was so outrageous.
I'd love to collaborate and write a song with Will Gallagher from Oasis. I think he's a great songwriter.
I think Robert Plant is the quintessential frontman - just the way he moves. His voice is superhuman.
People misinterpret what I say all the time: They think I'm being offensive, when really, I'm only being opinionated.
I think music needs danger; it needs risk.
I think I'm a homebody. I don't talk to anyone. I sit at home, and no one asks me questions or I'm talking about goat noises.
Generally, I like making my own mistakes and learning from them because that's what I think life is about.
People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna's wearing f-ckin' leather jackets, and it's really annoying . . . (My style is) high-class hooker. I dress for myself. Clearly, it's provocative, but it makes me feel good. And if the only reason it makes someone uncomfortable is because I'm 17, then that person's a scumbag because it shouldn't matter.
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.
You get more insight as you get older, on everything.
