I was just a big fan of tattoos always growing up, and I wanted something cool that symbolizes what I've been through in my life, and everything on my chest and my back is like a collage.
From when I was a really small girl on, I would pick every fabric, every color on the walls, and I was always redecorating. Like once every couple of months I would redecorate my room. I had a full wall that was all collage - the entire wall - when I was in junior high. And then it would kind of morph with me as I was growing.
I think there are specific times where film noir is a natural concomitant of the mood. When there's insecurity, collapse of financial systems - that's where film noir always hits fertile ground.
Within orthodoxy, there is always a danger of faith collapsing into fear.
I've always liked higher necklines, and Mia Farrow is my ultimate inspiration. The baby-doll dresses with big Peter Pan collars that she wore in 'Rosemary's Baby' were iconic. I've been drawn to similar looks ever since.
I have always wished I could learn to be a potter. I love collecting ceramics; it would be so fulfilling to create something lovely.
My favorite books to give or get are short story collections. And always paperbacks because they are easy to carry as you travel.
Always my collections are made of different influences.
The question is always 'What is the role of a labor movement?' How much is about collective bargaining, how much is about social change for all workers?
I even get inspired by movies that aren't very good, because there's always something good in movies that are collectively thought of as a failure. There's good in everything, I find.
I always have been and will remain someone who loves real, 3D, substantial books. And I don't believe that it's a wistful, nostalgic interest like vinyl collectors. It's not the same thing.
I love it! You know, when I tour college campuses, I always find that the prettiest girls in the room are the ones in the College Republicans.
I didn't have a traditional college experience. I didn't have a social aspect to it. I was always involved in working and going to school.
I always thought that I could play football at the college level.
It is not my wish to lounge about the college and fatten on a fellowship all my days. I am always trying to look upon a college life as a medium not an end.
When I do stand-up shows at colleges, girls will talk to me after the show, and that always feels good. I like talking to them.
Ireland has always been a nation of great athletes from the past: in the nineties, we had Sonia O'Sullivan and Steve Collins.
Estee Lauder cologne. Sam Cooke always wore it, and I started wearing it because he wore it.
I used to steal my father's cologne, and it was so strong. My mother would always know when I did because it was so intrusive. That's why I like Evolution - it's a strong yet subtle scent.
It's always been my dream to be among the big names of Colombia.
