My grandmother was a kind of Scarsdale New York society woman best known in her day as the author of the 1959 book 'Growing Your Own Way: An Informal Guide for Teen-Agers' - this despite being a person whose parenting style made Joan Crawford's wire hangers look like pool noodles.
I just go with the flow so any style can be in my music - that makes it exciting.
I can play punk rock and I love playing punk rock but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.
Pop music is not a threatening style of music.
For me music and life are all about style.
I don't really have a style icon but I really admire the way people dress like Gaga Rihanna and Gwen Stefani. It's good to be inspired by singers who write music and dress incredibly - rather than models and people in the fashion industry who dress immaculately anyway because it's their style.
There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap.
I don't want to limit myself musically. It would be really limiting if we'd neglect something we really want to do like explore other styles of music.
Punk is not just the sound the music. Punk is a lifestyle.
Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more than just a race it's a style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative.
