When you work with great people, you learn - about film, about clothing, about life, about sex.

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

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 think now because of this whole social media thing, people obviously felt these things [about cultural appropriation] before, and they comment on everything.

I'm not saying that everything I do is always tasteful - and maybe it's not always the normal idea of beauty - but hopefully it's always an empowering idea.

I think it's more funny how every bit of information is up for grabs.

I wasn't as confident and creative in the beginning as I am now, so it was all very safe. But 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.
