Without any kind of real ego on my part, I just thought, I'm going to approach the people I admire and see if they want to do something together.

Yes, I always remember my dad's, mom's and my grandma's perfumes.

What's worked for me is not quitting and being passionate about what I do and not giving up - and when I don't believe in myself, turning to others who believe in me.

Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk.

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.

I can remember years ago, when Kate Moss first came around and there were so many articles. Everyone was saying that it was heroin chic - that she was a waif, that she was anorexic. But Kate would eat just as much as anybody I knew - the media had just turned her into this thing. It must be really, really hard when you're the object of that.
