I want to spend time with Oprah, and I don’t know what I need to do to make that happen.
[On relationship with Jimmy Page] We’re still good friends, we both enjoy a rather dark sense of humour that comes, I think, from being on the wrong side of the tracks for all those wild years.
Well I always wanted to be Dolly Parton when I was a little girl. I was obsessed with her.
I was not popular in high school, I know every actress says that, but really, I was a big geek.
I think they called it ‘sucking up’ to begin with. They finally had to come up with another name.
That’s right, it was a boy. And finally, we have a member of the royal family with an actual excuse for being a toothless, petulant, useless human being…That one could get me into trouble back home.
Attending an all-girls school has its advantages, there are no inhibitions. You can walk to school with your zit cream on and your hair in rollers and nobody cares.
I think part of picking where you live in New York is accepting who you are. Really looking at yourself and going, ‘Yeah, I’m not cool enough for the West Village.’
I still like to get carried away – but passively.
I find Hollywood really toxic.
If you really love someone, you shouldn’t have to work at it. You finish each others’ sentences and have the same sense of humor.
The guys that don’t respect that history and tradition, I don’t think they’re going to be around all that long. And those guys who don’t know the history and tradition, I think it’s upon them to learn about it pretty quick if they want to be a success.
I love Obama. I’m sure we’ll hang out, go to Richard Branson’s island. It’ll be cool.
Working with someone like Dustin Hoffman is a huge honor and, after you kind of get through that, you’re frightened about working with a screen legend, and I was just in awe.
The second I met Zac, I thought he was a really cool guy. It’s hard not to have chemistry with someone who is so attractive.
What I have to say is far more important than how long my eyelashes are.
Possibly the whole creative whirlwind of any musician’s life is based on garnering and developing and absorbing more and more experience.
The idea of being in control for the sake of control is not really important to me. If everyone is sharp and doing what they’re doing well, you don’t really need to be in control all the time.
I look like an angel, but I can play the bitch.
I don’t really like to go out very much. I’m not scandalous. I’m not, like, in this to be famous. I also find it so embarrassing when you read about people and it’s like they were so trashed at Skybar and stumbling around. I don’t want to be that person. That’s just so embarrassing to have that written about you.
There has always been a tremendous obsession with television and movie stars, and with the people involved with the business.
