There's so much more purpose behind my getting up in the morning. Business is hard, really hard, but it's worth it.

I’m elated. I guess it’s better late than never. Welcome to the 21st century. It’s fantastic. I love Dior, and Rihanna is very much one of my style icons. I’m happy they got there in the end. I adore her style. She loves fashion, she’s unafraid. She uses her imagination, which is something we should all strive to do.

Human hair takes much more attention, as far as holding the style. You have to comb it, straighten it out, and wash and dry it.

I was supposedly living this glamorous life, but I was crippled by the idea of growing old and where do I go next? The whole age thing—in our industry, it's everything.

When I went to Fashion Week, I was very disappointed by how few women of color were in those shows. I do speak to the younger girls, and I hear them when they say they're not getting the big contracts or into the big shows.

I don't like to cook, but I like to eat popcorn with butter and salt.

So, to sum it up, it seems that whenever we take a couple of steps forward, we take a few more backwards.
