It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector, and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me.

You don't just have to be influenced by rock, or goth, anymore. It's okay to say, 'My influences are Tin Pan music from Bali and Rihanna.' There are still so many combinations that haven't been done yet.

I like creating beauty out of scary things.

It's obviously funny to be a meme, so I could be down with it in that regard, but it also belittles one's art.

The most valuable live thing for me is when people look like they're having a good time.

I'm not good at being, like, a sexy girl.

I'm tired of being considered vapid for liking pop music or caring about fashion as if these things inherently lack substance or as if the things I enjoy somehow make me a lesser person.

The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.

I feel like vocals are to music what portraits are to painting. They're the humanity. Landscapes are good and fine, but at the end of the day everyone loves the Mona Lisa.

Miami is just really fun whenever I go there. It's like this post-apocalyptic Barbie world: everything is pink, and there're palm trees everywhere. But then there are also all these people in crazy sunglasses, warehouses with sick parties where all the girls are covered in spikes and black leather. It's a very weird place.

For dramas, I love 'Downton Abbey.' I'm a sucker for the BBC.

I love 'New Girl.' I think it's so fun.

I love making savory stratas for Christmas morning. I get excited about it. It's a polenta strata with homemade bread, with a billion eggs and Parmesan cheese. I'll drizzle truffle oil over the whole thing, which will just destroy people. It's amazing.

I love Kind bars - I seriously always have them in my purse because they're so yummy.

I hate long pants.

I dance all the time. I'm almost constantly moving.

I'm not capable of wielding the guitar like Jimmy Page, one of my all-time favorite guitarists. My skill set is more based on the grinding, sort of human heartbeat - almost playing the guitar more like a drum.

I think that identity and sort of the brand - I hate that word - the brand of the musician should be malleable. It should change, and it should grow.

I was, like, a kooky kid, so people thought I was loud, but I really wasn't. I was kind of loud in outbursts. I was like a silent volcano. When I did have something to share, it was very over-the-top. But I've learned to balance that.

I think that being precious and rock and roll should never go together.

I'm really into poetry.

I was kind of a troublemaker, believe it or not.

You shouldn't feel judged when you are dancing or singing at the top of your lungs or existing in a maximum-expression way.

As long as you have balance, you can experience all of the things going on in the world and reach out and meet people and try new things, and you shouldn't be judged for it.
