I don't find clothes sexy at all. I find people sexy.

I always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I'm recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it's not as commonplace to be recognized.

I envy the people who go to Paris the first time

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 love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.

The red carpet doesn't interest me. I think people become all the same; it's like everyone posing from the three-quarter angle in some low-cut, fitted dress; it's all the same.

Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I've never been cool, but I've felt cool. I've been in the cool place, but I wasn't really cool - I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It's the awkwardness that's nice.
