The idea of giving someone something that I got, that makes me feel sad.

Listen, the idea that I might be a fashion soothsayer is very flattering but completely inaccurate.

I think the challenges that come with the responsibility of art directing something is something that appeals to me.

I mix my own lipsticks, so I don't really keep track of the brand as it's usually a number of them I've smushed together.

I actually love...Well I love both of them [Paris Hilton or Britney Spears] but I really love Paris Hilton. I interviewed her once, she had a record coming out. She was DJing and promoting that. It was actually only a couple of years ago. She had her persona in tact when I was interviewing her and then after we broke she came for a cigarette with me and I just found it so... she's so intelligent and interesting and obviously is playing the game.

It's shot by Ben Rayner who I think is very talented at doing portrait photography as well as fashion photography. His images never look like a model. You know, it doesn't look like a faceless model just wearing whatever. There's always personality that comes through. That was quite important for me to capture.

My mother isn't particularly vain. Growing up with a parent who put emphasis on personality over looks was important.
