Aleksa Palladino

I think songs and visuals are so evocative of each other.

For me writing and acting all comes out of the same place, a compulsion to review and connect to something. For me they are more similar than different.

I think children in general have a very hard time - at least I did - expressing any pain because I didn't want to hurt the people that I loved.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.
