It's not often you get female characters who don't fit into a box.

I think that female roles, they can be victims, they can be sympathetic, they can be in pain, they can be in suffering - but they can't be ugly. I think there's so much fear surrounding that, that it makes a film unlikeable, that it won't sell.

The kind of career that I want is not easy as a lady to manifest, because everyone wants a lady to be likable.

Nobody engages in a film, regardless of what your job is in it, to make a bad one.

I love writing music, but it seems I'm always writing words, so I don't get much time to do it.

I think it's unreasonable to expect kids at 17 to know what they want to do with the rest of their lives. And actually, I guess I had a desire to be an artist, and I did enroll in art school out of high school.

We'll be 'outsourcing' our creativity and our thought processes to manufactured components that could be inconspicuously implanted beneath our coiffeurs. Welcome to the Borg. You might not be entirely comfortable with such cybernetic enhancements, but all the smart money says it's going to happen.

I'm very conscious of the fact that I devoted my life to recording music, recordings and writing songs.
