I'm always listening to music; I can't live without it.

I am terrible at video games and I am really competitive. And if I am not the best at something, I go absolutely crazy!

I always thought I was going to end up an old spinster, with my cats and fur coats.

I don't want to be about the way I look - my body, my hair, my makeup, all those boring things.

I was in lots of dodgy bands growing up and I always fancied myself in a band. But, you know, I was rubbish at writing music. So maybe one day I'll play a rock star, or punk rocker.

A Mediterranean city is really my culture.
