As my own boss, I have the opportunity to get to work with great brands, like Old Navy, and I get to style some looks together that people can actually buy and afford.

I don't think that on a daily basis, people need to be so concerned with others think. When someone comes forward and is an individual, such as a Lady Gaga or a Katy Perry, people respond to them because there is that sense of innocence. It's obviously dress up and theatre. I never lost that I think part of that is growing up gay and part is growing up overweight. You never lose that, and I never want to lose touch with that whimsy, that sense of innocence. I also love the reaction it elicits in people. I like that it makes other people happy.

I've always really been interested in getting to work with QVC because I love teaching people about fashion and I love seeing people get excited by what they're wearing.

I believe the way we dress on a daily basis is our message we put out to the world. People tweet me all the time that I dress like a clown. That's the point. Those are characteristics I've adapted because it makes me happy. I like it when people think I dress like a clown or a five-year-old kid.

I went to school to be an actor in Canada and realized I hated auditions once I left, which is a huge problem if you want to get a part.

Being able to look cute, at all times, while being able to peel off layers is the most essential thing.

An embellished top with slim pants is great, even for a wedding.
