There's not a lot of people expressing anger in the culture. They're expressing a lot of hyper-exaggerated sexuality.

My mentors are people like Cameron Crowe and Carrie Fisher.

It's very hard to describe to people sometimes the way I grew up, because it wasn't like my parents were irresponsible. They weren't necessarily reckless, but they were bringing all types of energy into the house, all kinds of people.

I wish people would just like me for what I am, the singer in an OK new wave band.
