I don't know if I would want to come back as anything but me. I feel really satisfied. I don't really want to be anyone else. I just feel like I've gotten everything I signed up for as me. I'm happy as me.

My parents are very comfortable with the way that I am, and I think they've always been. Without that, I don't think that I would have ever have been able to grow into the person that I am today. I never felt like I was hiding anything from them.

Designers have always shown outlandish and exuberant clothes, but that hasnt always translated to the streets.

I need to feel like I'm part of something. I need to feel part of the world when I go to sleep.

In American culture you leave home at 18. In the Asian culture, your parents don't really want you to leave home. So my parents just thought I was going to be one of those kids. I was like, "I'm never going to make a living at whatever I do." I just liked pretty things.

Buy things you truly love, things that are special, but not a lot of them. It’s about value, not quantity.

I miss All Stars, by the way. I was just telling people: how am I going to get by until January?
