A lot of my branding has come from stubbornness - I knew what I liked. I knew what I wanted to do.

This is my chance to make it all happen, in the one city, where they say dreams come true.

You have your personal life and you have work life; when it's combined, it's difficult.

I've spent years saying no to things. It's important to be selective with both projects and partners.

You go to new places and it opens your eyes to different things you haven't seen before. Everything from colors, to silhouettes, to patterns - it just comes from everywhere.

Whenever someone comes up to me and says, 'I'm having trouble shopping.' I tell them to pull out their 10 favorite, most-worn pieces, then build a wardrobe around them. Those staples are going to be different for everybody.

I don't really have a talent. I can't sing or act or dance or perform, those talents. All I can do is be myself.
