Celebrity life and media culture are probably the most overbearing pop-cultural conditions that we as young people have to deal with, because it forces us to judge ourselves.

I would stare into the bright lights and imagine I could do anything. Be anything. And I would tell myself it would be me up there one day.

Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad.

I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend.

I don't know that my schooling was conducive to wild ideas and creativity, but it gave me discipline, drive. They taught me how to think. I really know how to think.

I am the excuse to explore your identity. To be exactly who you are and to feel unafraid. To not judge yourself, to not hate yourself.

Yoga makes me feel like I can do anything.
