For so many years, I felt so insecure, so inferior, and I still have those moments, but I have a newfound confidence since I got in shape and changed my diet.

I always wanted to be a fashion designer so I just have to remember that as long as I'm doing it I'm living the dream.

I'm not a model, so the idea of modelling a suit or clothes is weird in itself.

Change is a great and horrible thing, and people love it or hate it at the same time. Without change, however, you just don't move.

Sofia is so active, and she made The Virgin Suicides, which I thought was great - all these things are inspiring to me, not in terms of creating a particular dress, but just in terms of knowing that there is this type of woman out there.

I always say that I'm not the director, I'm part of the team.

I guess when I look over my shoulder at other designers, I feel like people are so definitive. It's so clear to me what their aesthetic is, what they're projecting. And I look at my own work and I think, Who could ever decipher what the hell is going on?
