I was building my work, and it took me a long time. For a good five or six years I was just kind of bobbing around, doing everything and anything.

When I think of the people I've worked with, all of them have great passion, and the passion is what keeps people inspired.

I haven't got a good reputation with pain.

All hair is away from the face - there's no emotion and all of the personality is taken away. I envisioned the way a 'virtual girl' is drawn in a cartoon. Then I added these different colored extensions - white, red and black, which adds to the synthetic feeling of the hair. I used colors which looked most dramatic against each of the models' real hair. The different colors give you that pop of fakeness so we're not talking about reality. Like a futuristic princess.

I have a total complex [because of my curls], though, because I got teased a lot as a kid.

Everyone has an opinion and I think we're at a time which is very heated all over the world, so of course people will speak out. And they have every right to.

People comment, and that's where we are now. It's the way the world is.
