I'm, like, forever a teenage girl in a way. No matter how hard I try not to be, that's just what I am. All I care about is boys and shopping.

I find it sad that people think it's a political, gender-bending thing, because, really, I'm just singing about guys. There's a million guys singing about girls, and no one makes a big deal of it.

Women that hate other women - that's the worst.

My aim was to dismantle this false history that men created punk, because they didn't. And they were certainly never the best at it.

What's important with writing is that it comes from a place you absolutely love. I'm writing for film and TV. In America, they call people like me 'multi-hyphenators.'

I firmly believe that any good journalist must essentially be temperamentally an outsider. I don't think full sense of belonging and security is conducive to creativity.

It's true that there are people who live the idea of being an artist, as opposed to the idea of making art.

I go to the theater and dream. You learn your lines, and that gives you the security to allow the imagination and heart to come out.
