My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.

I really like to look like a history book. I can look 1940s, I can look 1970s hippie-chic, or sometimes I'll pull that '80s Brooklyn hip-hop kid with the door-knocker earrings.

In public, I like real conservative clothes, something that's not too flashy. But onstage, I like 'em as flashy as you can get 'em.

Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.

I don't consider my own clothing to be outrageous. The truth is that people just don't have the same references that I do. To me it's very beautiful and it's art, and to them it's outrageous and crazy.

Prejudice is a disease. So is fashion. But I will not wear prejudice.
