My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails.
Like for 'Black Nails,' I just had black nails - and I never have black nails. It was my first and last time getting black nails. And that's so not normal for me. So when you're recording, you're up at the mic and you gotta name the file, so I just look down and I'm like, 'Black Nails!' That's literally what it was.
I remember the first day I was looking at my hands and I thought about my nails. People wouldn't really be paying attention to that, but a Civil War doctor - What would they be doing with their nails? Would they cut them really low? And Dr. Burns said, "No, they would let them grow out so they can scoop stuff out. They would use their nails." So for a while I let my nails grow. They were too long. I kept stabbing myself by accident, so I cut them down, but I was trying to be faithful to the details.
I play the guitar when I want to relax. But to play the guitar, you cut the nails. So one day, I'll cut the nails off.
My nails are a disaster. If I play guitar when my nails are long, I just tear them off.
I have these long nails, but I literally do nothing to them! The thought of filing my nails drives me insane.
I get plastic nails done in the salon. When I was younger, they were stronger, but now I get my nails built up. Then I can dance over the strings. I say, 'Okay, I need four nails; I'm a guitarist.' Sometimes if I'm in a strange place, the girl says, 'Yeah, all the guys say that.'
Writing is like anything - baseball playing, piano playing, sewing, hammering nails. The more you work on it, the better you get. But it seems to take a longer time to get better at writing than hammering nails.
I don't love duck nails, where the nails are really wide on top. I am not a fan of that!
I bite my nails so bad. They're awful! My nails are so ugly. I need to stop biting them.
Painting my nails was one of the things I liked to do, and I was so terrified of, like, ever letting anybody see my nails painted.
When I was younger, I used to bite my nails so bad. I used to play sports; I played, like, every sport. I would be playing soccer, and I'd be in the middle of the field just zoned out, biting my nails, and I'd, like, miss the ball going past me.
Getting your nails done with your man is so much fun. Having them help you out choosing the color, I love that. I think it's great to get a man's perspective on nails and to sit there to get your nails done with him.
I'm definitely low maintenance, but I do have a lot of massages, and I have this girl who comes to my house to do my nails. My friends will come over ,and we'll all get our nails done or have waxes.
I've worked with Nails Inc. for years, and it's been a joy. I love their products. I have two baskets of Nails Inc. polishes upside down to read the names, colour coded.
I love French films, and I copy things I see in them. I read magazines and also look at Tumblr. I love nails, so I literally just search the word 'nails' on Tumblr and start looking.
I got my Gucci nails done for a photo shoot. After the shoot I would be on Snapchat and Instagram? and everybody was hitting? me up about i?t.? ?Eventually that turned into kids sending me photos of them getting Gucci nails.
