When I was 14, a lot of people said, "She's such a good actress, she loves theater, she looks like a woman, she should consider moving to L.A. and trying to do this professionally." My parents were hesitant, but they would take me.
Pop music is great, but there's a lot of BS about the attitude of guys being super-gangster - that's why the whole thing is silly. It's making fun of itself. That self-awareness is why people enjoy it. It's refreshing.
The attention from the fashion world is something that I didn't expect. I've shot with Bruce Weber and met Karl Lagerfeld. Having that kind of attention is really exciting.
People always talk about what they do the night before, but to be totally honest what you do the night before isn't going to make a huge difference in how you look. Maybe eating a giant burger and being bloated would make a difference, but other than that it's the lead-up. For me it's always about trying to consistently maintain a fit and body-conscious eating schedule so three days before I'm not like, Oh my God, I have a bathing suit shoot I have to do.
It's like never hearing a Joy Division album or something. I'm finally watching Twin Peaks, and I'm so into it.
A woman talks about having sex, and it's like, well, a guy got to have sex with you, so you're stupid. You've given something up.
One thing that I've found is that people could relate and see different qualities in the video that they enjoyed. That wasn't something I was necessarily expecting.
I basically had the same body when I was 14 and that was weird. But I think I had really good parents. I got really lucky.
The movie industry has been contacting me. I have been auditioning - that's actually why I am in California. I was here meeting with studios and auditioning.
I feel like every woman, and actually any guy who hasn't played that many sports, you secretly wonder, like, 'Would I be a pro athlete?'
I have great childhood memories cow-tipping, going off and getting lost in the bog for hours, and coming home covered in dirt.
I met with Karl Lagerfeld, and if you have those kind of connections, that takes you into that world and puts you on that level.
I was born in London and lived there until I was five. We traveled a lot. But really San Diego is my hometown. It's where I went to high school.
You can go super American and get barbecue and beer and be like, 'Whatever, I'm watching a football game.' That's exactly what I'm going to do.
