I don’t normally do shoots in bikinis – I’m just not that kind of girl. But for ‘Maxim’ I was like, ‘Bring it on!’ I wanted to wear the higher heels and the skimpier bathing suit. I figured I’d go for it!

We all know what it feels like to be an outcast or a loner or to fall between the cracks. To be the target of gossip or people talking about you, or girls are ganging up on you. One minute, they’re your best friend; the next, they call you on three-way.

I’m a weirdo. I don’t leave the house unless I have to.

I was always loud and obnoxious and giggly and funny.

I am sarcastic and dry, but I also have a pretty huge zest for life.

There’s only one person for every job. You can try all you want, but if you’re not right for it, you’re not gonna get it.

A song is a song, you know? First of all comes a song, second of all comes the way it’s promoted … where you place it and what happens to it and how it gets streamed and all that sort of thing is in the lap of the gods, and maybe artists in the end just take a back seat and let it roll.

I believe I was definitely sent down here to take people away for a little while, to make them happy.

No person who does not reside in Canada shall induce electors to vote for or refrain from voting for a particular candidate. And apparently anyone found guilty of doing that could be fined up to $5,000, given a six-month jail term, or both. That is a ridiculous law and I guess what you’re saying, Canada, is do you wanna dance?.

Our president-elect [Trump] has at various times said he’d bomb civilians, loot oil, and waterboard, which isn’t a military strategy so much as the series of words that Donald Rumsfeld mutters so he can stay hard while he’s masturbating.

People find out I’m an actress and I see that ‘whore’ look flicker across their eyes.

Any single part of Brexit is a mountainous task and that is before you get to the tiny little bits that you understand that we haven’t even thought might be a problem. John Oliver

I spent a long time trying to figure out how to play (Edward’s part) without making a fool out of myself. The whole book is written from Bella’s perspective and she’s in love with him. I mean, the guy can be anybody – he could be an alien – and you see past everything if you’re in love with someone.

You don’t just decide to destroy a person by making up stuff, and no one at ‘SNL’ is writing to go after someone.

Part of the early Who career was all about knocking people’s confidences out.

I’ve got to the point now where I can poke some fun at my old image and really enjoy letting go when a juicy role comes along.

I was making guitars and I was a sheet metal worker and if you ever see sheet metal workers’ hands, you’ve never seen so many cuts in your life.

I’ve been working so hard, I’m about to have a Mariah Carey.

I think we’re a band with a lot of history now so it’s nice to come up with something that doesn’t have any history at all.
