When you look back at your career, there are moments that are levels that you hit and you bounce off them.

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.

I celebrate every culture. I love the mix of cultures and I'm never going to change that because that's inspiring to me.

You may say, 'That's naïve of you,' and maybe it is, but in my mind, I'm celebrating every kind of woman. That's what a creative person does.

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 worked at a bunch of other salons, and at one, this girl was going out to do a photo shoot for a women's magazine and brought me along to assist her. I remember going on that shoot and thinking, "God, this is great. It's creative, and you get to work with all of these other creative people." At that point I decided that hair would be my in to fashion and all the things I thought I would enjoy - and did enjoy.
