Making a movie like 'Felony' is hard work because you're really putting your own ideas on the screen. You can't hide behind some other person's script; you're saying, 'This is my brain, and I want you...

I tend to wear monochromatic outfits - all one colour from head to toe.

I think it is very hard to design in colours you don't feel right about.

In the first band I was ever in, we all had to wear a matching grey suit. I hated that.

I'm into clothes, but in a way that's related to wanting to walk into a film noir movie. You know, I love to go to vintage stores, but mostly it's stuff that I don't have anywhere to wear... I don't...

Why shouldn't I be allowed to say stupid, outrageous things?

I don't see myself as a political artist, but certain issues mean a lot to me.

I'm most active on Instagram, then Twitter, and then Facebook. I haven't opened up Snapchat for the public; it's only for my friends.

Metallica is a wonderful key to have on my key ring. I can go anywhere - it's great.

I love a nice tailored suit, but I also like to dress down. It all depends on what mood I'm in.

I love Hot Topic, it's like my No. 1 store.

I love wide and long pieces, but my agency hates it when I wear wide pants because they drown me.

When I am not working, I go to the movies, text my friends, my thumbs are faster than lightening on that keyboard! I write songs, sing, dance, Facebook, Twitter and spend time with my besties. I am...

I post all the time anyway. It's part of who I am. There's me IRL. There's me online. That's just my life. Plus, I love it. It's amazing to connect with so many people.

I think I make films to help bolster and feed the part of me that wants to remain in a positive relationship with the world and to engage in it. So hopefully in non-sentimental ways, I'm trying to...

I think that, as a filmmaker, you're always making the same film, regardless of how many different stories you tell. This is the case for me, whether I'm making documentaries or fiction films.

The only instrument I play myself is the ukulele.

Music has always been a part of me and art in general. I love visual art as well.

I've been writing a lot of road songs. Writing a lot of homesick songs. But once you start playing them out, it all ain't no secret anymore. Everyone knows how you feel.

The very first song I wrote was about a boy that I was obsessed with.

I cannot and do not live in the world of discretion, not as a writer, anyway. I would prefer to, I assure you - it would make life easier. But discretion is, unfortunately, not for novelists.

I'm coming into places with some people who just want to hear what I did before, with some people who want to hear me with a band, but I am just at the moment sticking to my guns and saying, 'You know...

I feel naked without earrings. I'll pass out twice. It feels like I'm missing a body part.

Kate Spade has great feminine classics and I love her bags. Designs by Rebecca Taylor, BCBG, and Herve Leger are sexy and fun, and they work on my body.

'Proud Mary' was the best song for me to perform because it was so much fun.

Serious rap music puts me to sleep.

I'm someone who loves to have fun on the field - to laugh and smile and shout and give high fives and allow my emotions to come through. That's who I am. It's where I'm from. And I am proud of that.

I really like 'Girls.' I know everybody does, but I love 'Girls.'

My music is definitely very personal. The songs are about moments, snapshots of everyday life, and about having one's say, or at least feeling like one has had one's say.

I love to sing! To be in a movie with a musical number is the coolest thing ever!
