Musician

Possessions can be replaced - it's people that can't.

I was embraced entirely and completely by the LGBTQ community. So I always felt very comfortable and confident to live exactly how I wanted to.

There's certain types of music where the artist sells the song - where it doesn't really matter what's going on with the song.

Australia is a smaller country and the industry works differently over there. You get added to one radio station in Australia, and you pretty much get added across the board.

Just look at the transformation Taylor Swift made from being pop country to pop pop. There are very specific things she cut out and very specific things she adopted.

Our first record as the Veronicas was a big mainstream success. Maybe if we'd had the indie record first, then the breakout record, it would have been supported by Triple J.

Lolita' was written at a time when we were heavily listening to more dance, electronic, and trance, and then on the flip side we were writing country-pop songs like 'Born Bob Dylan' or our acoustic songs, or trip-hop.

I'm very, very lucky - when I realised I was sexually attracted to females there wasn't a struggle where I found that hard to accept.

Lisa tried to eat me in the womb, that's the real tea.

I've wrongly been called sick by newspapers and magazines throughout my entire career.

You know what, we can be really fierce with each other but as soon as someone tries to take either one of us on, that's not one of us, we back each other up.

Having to deal with people all of a sudden knowing who we were and knowing our music and all the rest of it was definitely something that we had to get used to.

We don't have to test our boundaries anymore. We definitely know what they are.

If you have everything you want in life, including money, fame and being asked out on dates by 20 cute boys, and you are still unhappy then you have to go deep within yourself to fix the issue.

Our food pyramid, the kind of diet that is constantly promoted, is completely warped. It's not based around anything to do with healing your body.

Back in your twenties you're discovering your boundaries in life, whether it's with relationships or friendships and partying.

After you give up meat for about a week, you don't really crave it anymore.

Australians want progression, Australians want equal rights, they want safer, more compassionate, more harmonious communities, and we're not allowing it to progress in that way. It's very disappointing, knowing Tony Abbott's conservative views, he's clearly not the person to be leading Australia in the present or the future.

The '90s is my favourite era of music, especially the girl-bands like Babes in Toyland.

There's certain people in your life you realise aren't exactly the people that you thought they were.
