Creativity in any form stimulates creativity in every form, music, arts, literature... I find inspiration in anything. It's all the same.

One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.

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.

That was a time when I did love music, I couldn't get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right - and non-commercial - had become so influential, so immediately.

Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk.

I think something happens with age. And I find this really a lot in what I read from certain art critics: For people who are all about change-people who are supposed to be intellectually and culturally drawn to the idea of change and how the voice of a creative person affects the world on a bigger scale than just the canvas-I would expect a person in that position to have that open mind. It's only a sign of age that they become so locked in their own rules that they forget that this is what it's all about.

Sephora's business is really smart and clever - I'm all for anything that gets people up and out and into the social experience of shopping.
