Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Amber Liu
A. Seoul, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando and the Philippines. I can't pick just one city there.
Q. When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?
A. My laptop and skincare, because, oh my gosh, I need that. When you're on a plane your face just does not want to listen to you. And recently I've been bringing my receipt box, because I have to keep all my receipts. I take it everywhere with me so my wallet doesn't fill up and start hurting when I sit.
Q. Some artists say they can't create on the road. Can you?
A. Yes, which is why I sometimes never sleep. I have learned to deal with my thoughts even when I want to work. For instance, I'm in the middle of this interview with you right now and can concentrate on this and wait to write music, whereas I couldn't always do that well in the past. (Laughs)
Q. Besides your new music, what are you working on?
A. I just talked about this with one of my friends and we're going to do it. I want to do woodworking. (Laughs) I want to build furniture. It looks like fun and would be therapeutic for me. I need to not think about things sometimes. It's just a hobby I want to start doing. I'm not looking for a new career.
