I didn't know anything about fashion, growing up in Orange County. I just knew about it through music, how ska bands dressed.

Even being close to L.A., I was always inspired by old movies and Marilyn Monroe and the glamour of Hollywood.

I've made clothes my whole life, but I was just naive about the fashion world. But I think it's successful because I've been really involved. Picking the samples, inspirations, color palette.

Being a singer is all about me. About ego. Being a mom is all about being selfless - two different worlds.

You feel pretty gross when you are first pregnant. You don't feel cute, you feel disgusting. You're getting fat. It was hard.

I wish I could write more make-believe. It's a lot easier to write about hard times and when things are going wrong. But I've never been a private person.
