“As a little girl growing up in a small farming town in Michigan, my idols were women like Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth.”

“I feel empowered the fact that I can look the way that I do on stage and in photos - I can look that way any time I want. And I feel like it's important message to other women that they can do it, too.”

“My beauty icons are women whose images are self-created.”

“I didn't really have idols growing up, but some of my friends were huge fangirls.”

“Many of my idols from the past are also Italians.”

“I don't have idols anymore.”
