On my first album, I felt like, if it was going to be turned into a movie, it would have been directed by Sofia Coppola. She creates this kind of pastel-colored palette that's very whimsical but also very stagnant. And that's really how I heard the record.
My family is average. I didn't have a crazy life as a kid.
My hair is naturally super curly. But I really don't do so much to it. I just sleep on it and see what happens.
When I got signed, I had just turned 16. I felt like I had to continuously have these confrontations with older men who were doubting my ideas because I was a woman, because I was 16.
I really love Grimes, Niki & the Dove, stuff like that.
To be honest, for me, my main workout is when I'm on stage. Even though I make pop music, I don't think I perform in the classic 'pop star' sort of way. I'm very active on stage; I always end up dripping in sweat afterwards. It's always like a full-on, wild performance, so that's pretty much like my exercise, I would say.
The scenes in 'The Virgin Suicides' where Elle Fanning is ice skating are really amazing.
I definitely went through a phase where I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was younger... But I certainly wasn't very good at it.
I'm going to build an empire. I'm always writing for someone else. I want to be someone who has her fingerprints all over the pop charts.
I've been really inspired by Paris Hilton, small dogs, and a glitter, luxe lifestyle.
I love karaoke and totally hog the mic when I go out and do it with my friends.
There are some signs that can indicate she might be interested. Woman might do subconscious things like play with their hair or orient their body towards your direction.
I've never conformed to what my record label has said and, yes, that has meant that it's been a long journey for me.
My real friends are definitely the people I grew up with - the people who don't care about my music career at all.
To be honest, my usual makeup is the same as in my music video looks.
Whenever I'm writing a song, if I have an idea for the music video, that's how I know it's a good song.
I always think about fashion when it comes to making music and music videos... what the colours will look like, what the material will be, how will it work with the sound of the music.
I love the Nineties because more than any other period of time, there was such an eclectic mix of styles going on. More so than in the Sixties and Seventies, when there was an overriding look and sound.
Fashion is instant. It makes you feel something the second you see it on a body... whether you love it or hate it, or it offends you, or it makes you laugh or cry.
Just be funny. Funny always goes over well, so try to think of something funny to break the ice rather than being weird or using pickup lines.
