I love having a lot of content. I prefer to have constant stimulation.
'It Girl' is supposed to be something that only lasts a certain amount of time. They keep calling me an 'It Girl,' and at this point it makes me laugh, because I've done that so many times: 'You're it;' 'You're not it.' What is 'it?'
I still have in me the same awareness when I was 12 and chubby and a girl was spitting in my face. I'm the same person.
I have Pro Tools on my computer, and I make CDs all the time.
I put myself out there; it's part of my job, and I get it: people will attack me. At first I was thrown off, but now I have a pretty thick skin about it.
I think that the mistakes that anyone can make going on dates is probably not being themselves because you can only trick people for so long.
It's very much a piece of myself when I write a song. I don't mean to say it's very personal, like the lyrics mean something personal to me. When I write a song, that's my taste in music - my taste in chord progressions and melodies.
In my mind, I always think of myself as an underdog type.
To be a gluten-free vegan is, like, the most difficult thing you can possibly be.
I don't know why femininity should be associated with weakness. Women should be free to express who they are without thinking, 'I need to act like a man, or I need to tone it down to be successful.' That's a very good way to keep women down.
I appreciate a songwriter like Morrissey with so much restraint.
I'm the worst at picking what movies are going to do well. I have no idea. I'm really surprised if a movie I like does well.
I'm wary about this thing about being in the generation of social networking where people are like, 'I am my musical taste.' I am not just a collection of music. Or a collection of movies. I think that's a thing that people romanticize: 'Oh my God, she likes this band so she is a dream.'
My biggest complaint with tights is that they do not accommodate skinny-ankled people like myself.
Nothing's better than a picnic.
You don't have to wear expensive clothes to look good.
Girls get competitive, as though there's only one spot in the world for everything _ but that's not true. We need to stick together and see there's more to life than pleasing men. It's important not to cut yourself off from female friendships. I think sometimes girls get scared of other girls, but you need each other.
I think the best comedies came out during the Depression. Personally.
I just like music that sounds like music. Not like machines and computers and things that you design to make things sound slick and perfect.
Well, my piano's really beautiful. I actually have two pianos. I have a Yamaha upright from the '60s that's blond, wood, and black, and I also have one from the '20s from Chicago - not a well-known brand or anything.
There are a lot of actors who will sit here and talk to you about characters - 'He does this, and she's a really interesting character because she does this.' I'm not like that at all. I'm not an actory actor.
Summer has always been my favorite season. I feel happier.
I went to Northwestern because I had gone to a really nontraditional high school. I was like, 'It'd be cool to have a traditional college experience.' Then I was like, 'Oh, but none of these people understand what's cool about me. My specialness is not appreciated in this place.'
