It's the best feeling when you wake up and it's warm and cozy, and you don't have to go to work.

I try to keep myself as sane and as grounded as possible by surrounding myself with normal people, such as all the friends that I've had from when I was little.

I've always loved the fashion of the '30s and everything that came with the Art Deco era - the jewelry and the glamour.

I loved getting to investigate the grey areas of morality.
