“Feminism is not a dirty word. It does not mean you hate men, it does not mean you hate girls that have nice legs and a tan, and it does not mean you are a bitch or a dyke. It means you believe in equality.”

“I got into punk at 17 after discovering an all-girl band from Long Island on the Internet called The Devotchkas - four crazy-looking girls with fast, driving basslines and high-pitched gang vocals who shared the same dress sense as the punks I used to eye up curiously in Camden.”
“Forgiving yourself will help with giving yourself strength.”
“I want to be in a Tarantino movie, more than anything in the world.”
“British summers give me a really happy feeling.”
“For me, music is my art and what I have dedicated my life to. For fashion designers, clothing is art. Just as much as a piece of music that I might write is a piece of art. Being able to merge the two industries on stage or at an event is really fun.”

“I've been really inspired by my roots - my ancestors and Irish history.”
“When I was younger, I'd always cry on Christmas Day, and I didn't know why. Now I know it's because I was just overwhelmed by the togetherness.”
“Hair is so important and emotional. I dyed mine black and blond after a breakup - there's something really powerful about changing your hair when you're in a weird place.”
“I have really bad anxiety and OCD. I get afraid of everyone I know dying.”
“I love any excuse to dress up; my wardrobe's a bit like a fancy dress box.”
“I formulate my style based on a range of influences from books to films and my moods.”
“The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players are the most wonderful creatures.”
“You have to be cynical because this is a business. Everyone is making money out of you.”
“Even though I'm super into tarot and astrology, I don't believe in knowing too much about the future.”
