I love getting paid to ride a horse.
There is no kind way to rip the skin off animals' backs. Anyone who wears any fur shares the blame for the torture and gruesome deaths of millions of animals each year.
Isolation is a big part of songwriting.
If I start feeling down I'll gorge myself on pasta. That usually does the trick. It's the Italian blood in me.
Saving animals is as simple as choosing synthetic alternatives instead of real fur.
It was only cool to have blond hair and be a surfer chick [in Sydney]. I could learn how to surf, but I still looked Italian. It took me a long time to realize that was a good thing.
Ignore reality, there's nothing you can do about it.
I never belonged anywhere. I just felt like a creature from another planet.
My nana was always a widow as long as I was alive; my grandfather died before I was born. All the women on my street - there were four houses in a row with all old women who lived alone who were widowed. They all had kids, but they were all widowed. My mom didn't put me in preschool; I didn't know that was a thing. I just hung out with these women all day.
I was so anxious to grow up, and now I'm wishing I was still a kid.
Whenever I have had to write fiction, I've always had to invent a character who roughly has my background.
