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.

I try to be aware of technology and Japanese animation and old Belgian paintings, and get all my references from bits of everywhere.

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

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.

Fashion is emotional, and the way women look at it is emotional, so it's very important to try to connect with a woman's idea of how she might feel.
