When I realized I could actually make my decisions, it was a very strange feeling. It's like a switch went off in my brain, like, "Oh, then why am I doing this? I don't enjoy this, so I'm just gonna stop doing this."
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."
Where I'm at now is awesome. A different road might have led me to a different place, and I wouldn't be happy doing anything but music.
I don't eat any red meat.
Every now and again I want to go to the beach and be in the sun, but that's a very rare feeling, so I could live in London, definitely.
I hope girls read what I say in interviews - they should just be themselves.
You can't be a band and not play, and playing is so invigorating. It breathes life into you. So does creating something out of nothing.
It's less frustrating if someone recognizes me for it [ Pretty Reckless ]; it's more frustrating that I still get asked about it.
I'll start with the Beatles, and I'll bookend it with Soundgarden.
Asking about acting to me is like asking about junior high.
Good and evil exists everywhere.
Edie Sedgwick had a cool style; she pushed the envelope for the time.
I go through ups and downs just like everyone does.
Again, if you only know what you know, you don't know if something's good or bad. You don't have perspective.
Once I got to an age where I was old enough to make my own decisions, I quit everything and did what I actually wanted to do, which was start a band.
I love all the '90s kind of grunge, and I love classic rock: That's where the spectrum lies.
My style's not for everyone - I'm an extremist.
I paint and I sculpt and I enjoy doing things that aren't for the public. There's no pressure to it, it's just something that's a cleansing of the mind.
I can work 24 hours a day and not have it bother me.
My legs are really long and that's cool apparently, but I'm totally klutzy. I mean, I'm like Bambi. I fall all over myself because I can't control my arms and my really long legs.
I'm not interested in playing the field and all that stuff because frankly I'm not into frivolous relationships. I've got a couple close relationships with friends, a close relationship with my family, and a close relationship with my guitar. I'll know if the right person comes along, and whatever then - cool - but it's not something I'm seeking out at the moment.
I have a knife collection. I have my favourite black knife with me all the time. It's a switchblade. It relaxes me to flick it. I close it and open it.
I am trying to do my own thing, but there will always be comparisons, even if I don't agree with them.
The thing people don't understand is that touring or travelling or whatever you do in my position means you go to all these cool places all over the world, but you see everything from a car window. You don't get to see much of the city or meet people at all.
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.
