HW: Elements of your sexed-up Yonica character sort of poke fun at other oversexualized pop stars, now dominating the media. How have you avoided coming across that way in your own life?
HD: Eventually everything is going to come out [in the press]. You can try and keep something secret for a long time--it’s not like I have this deep, dark side of me that nobody’s found out [about] yet; and I’ve just maneuvered my way into, like, having no one find out who I really am. I mean honestly I’m not, I guess, what you think a pop star would be [the trashy stereotype]--even though I sing pop music, that’s not who I am. I don’t think there’s a certain step-by-step guide to do it the way I did it. It’s just that everybody’s different. It was fun to play a character who is the complete opposite of who I am, and how people view me. You know?
