Lily Opinions.

The Onion A.V. Club (I love their interviews) spoke to Lily Allen last week.

Lily on Women in the Media: I think that as long as women are parading around on television, taking their clothes off to sell records, then guys will be able to take the piss out of us. That’s what it comes down to. I have a little brother, Alfie, and he has a very poor view of women, and I think the only explanation… He’s got three incredibly strong women surrounding him in his home life, yet he’s so affected by the stuff he sees in the media and the way women are portrayed

On the Internet: I have my camera and I have my computer, and if I have some spare time, rather than watching some mindless bullshit pop-idol program on TV, why not show people my pictures and try and discuss things that I feel are important?

On talking trash: When I’ve slagged people off, it’s been in answer to a question. It’s not like I walk into interviews and go “I hate Madonna!” {Laughs.] They’ll say something about her, and I’ll react to it. I’m not media-trained, so I’m not good at keeping my mouth shut in those situations

On school: I think that people have gotten a little bit too comfortable. I think the world has changed so much, and the education system hasn’t in a long time. I think it’s kind of a little bit of an old-school way of teaching. Yet the world doesn’t work in the same way that it did, you know?

Be sure to read the rest of the interview to find out why she was kicked out of 13 schools, her pre-music jobs, and her writing process.
