A Quote by Tessa Virtue

My favourite way of getting ready for a red carpet event is to turn the hair and makeup time into a bit of a pre-party.

I'm touched by the Beatles. I want some of the music I do to reflect that. Here I am. I love Sly Stone and James Brown and Stevie Wonder, and I want my music to reflect some of that. Here I am.
