If people think I'm angry, I don't want to burst anybody's bubble. I like sometimes for people to be afraid of me. But it's not really anger; it's discipline.

It doesn't surprise me that people can't see beyond my image. It's amazing, but I can understand it. That's what image is for. But it's never a problem for me. It's only a problem for them. I don't really care. I do what I want regardless.

I thought I'd take style to its limit... My philosophy is a belief in magic, good luck , self-confidence, and pride.

My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We've all been very athletic.

My husband used to shout at my mother, 'What is wrong with your daughter? I'm married to a man.'
