I am a control freak.

I'm actually an incredibly disorganized, messy person.

My mother says I'm like a disease that can walk into a room and get it infected. I can destroy things in seconds.

I make sure I carve out time to be with my daughter.

If you've chosen someone to be in your bridal party, she should be a good enough friend that she does not want to upstage you.

I didn't finish my dress until about three days before my wedding - I had the flu and was stitching it from my bed. And the tulle came back from India all brown. We had to wash it for hours, but that didn't dissuade me from wearing it.

I enjoyed studying costume, learning about the corsetry and the historical context of fashion. I never had any real intention of being a costume designer.
