Evan Rachel Wood

“The biggest lessons I've learned in life have probably come from a bad situation, from an angry situation, even if I wasn't the one who was angry.”

“I feel sexy when I'm doing what I love - like when I'm singing or performing or something - that's when I feel the most in control and in my element.”

“I have a karaoke lounge in my house, complete with a tiki bar and hula-girl lamps and disco balls.”

“I got the most surprising reaction was when I had bleached blonde hair with a black stripe at the bottom - all of the ends were black. That one got the most attention - good and bad.”

“I love the smell of vanilla, but I didn't have perfumes growing up, so I wore vanilla extract.”

“I'm in love with London. English boys are great. I completely fell in love with it over there.”

“I've made my own music, and the way I've always described it is Peggy Lee with an electric guitar, or Billie Holiday with some PJ Harvey in there.”

“I hope to have a career like Jodie Foster, going from child to adult actress.”

“Sometimes I think I still dress like a 13-year-old boy. It's not that I don't like feminine clothing: I just like a blend because it reflects who I am.”
