That's pretty easy for me to play, I guess.

It's not easy. Many, many, many songs have been written about it. We wouldn't have anything to read if relationships were easy. There would be no art in the world if we actually got along.

All the partner-swapping and reversals are farcical and a little Shakespearean, ... I play the straight man while everyone else is so eccentric.

I have plenty of vanity in my life. I want to look pretty in the world. But it can be this bottomless pit.

It just seems like the most successful, iconic love stories are not so easy or escapist. I think the ones that stay with us and resonate are full of conflict, discord and misunderstandings 'cause that's what makes drama happen or tension even if it's a comedy.

The big question is always, 'Eyes or lips?' I tend to go with the eyes because I've got a lot more material to work with now - and it saves me from reapplying lipstick! I'm a pretty low-maintenance person and it's too excessive to exaggerate both the eyes and lips.
