I work in fashion because the world is such a heavy place that I need to be in this industry that fights for five hours to get a dress.

Society has a hyper emphasis on thin, and that trend comes from the consumers - it does not come from the fashion industry. The fashion industry needs to make money; that's what we do. If people said, 'We want a 300 pound purple person,' the first industry to do it would be fashion.

When you become rich and famous and you get a lot of attention, very few people get to go through that cycle without having a hard time. Everybody in their lives has a hard period. I don't know anybody who's ever been alive who hasn't had like, heartbreak, despair, depression, death, drug or alcohol, or weight problems, or health problems.

I hope that you, too, will choose to have a journey instead of just a life. Actually, I hope it's a full on expedition.

My life is not balanced and not everything is perfect all the time.

When you're young, you don't realize that things are going to pass and things will move and shift.

My mistakes have been some of the best teachers of my life.
