Everything really needs to be paraben-free for me. I mean, because if I’m going to smoke cigarettes, then I need to be aware of all the other bullshit I’m putting into my body.

I'm really a big believer in working with people. It's challenging for me to come into already integrated brands and find a way where I can put my own flair on it.

I like the idea of not looking at trends, not being driven by them. I like what I like and that's it.

I want to create a lifestyle niche for that cool girl who's really into fashion but not too obsessed with it.

I've never been a girly-girl, never drawn to things that are fussy.

I think people find it weird that I have a lot of long antique-lace dresses that I wear with boots.

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