I was a total jock growing up. I went to super-dorky basketball clinics and was handpicked to play on a state team called the Texas Heat.

I don't have a background in design, so I think it's always about what I see in the world and what inspires me. So yes, I am designing for myself. I'm going through this whole evolution, which is a process of growing up and going from modeling to styling to designing.

I don't like precious things; I don't spend thousands of dollars on jewellery for myself. I like going into a junk store and finding something for five dollars. That's my style.

I shop a lot more for furniture than I do for clothes. I much prefer going to an antique shop full of obscurities.

My style has always been very free, easy, relaxed, and slightly androgynous.

I am rough around the edges, and I am not a polished girl.

I don't think about fashion or trends - I've never really been that kind of person.
