When I was growing up, you sort of did the unthinkable. You did something that has never really been replicated.

The worst thing is to be a designer and create work that isn't honest. You have to be honest. Otherwise, you'll always be a reaction to what other people do and you'll always be one step behind.

My cats are really sassy and sophisticated, but most importantly, they are picky.

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

For a while, I just thought that I wanted to be an illustrator because that's all I wanted to do. I also did some sculpting. It was always very artsy and very feminine, everything that I did.

I love a little bit of glamour and I love tall girls.

What I was interested in wasn't popular and young, but I never really deviated from doing it. I just decided that I was going to go full force into exactly what I wanted. I think there's a certain comfort that comes with age and experience, and when I got that, I think my work got better.
