Whether I'm making a recipe or a piece of jewelry or a white-rose-and-jasmine tea or the perfume, I like to think of myself as a happy little sorceress, and if I could just have a little general store with all that stuff and give people a sense of my taste, that would be lovely.

I am as omnivorous as it's possible to be. I always say there's nothing I won't eat and nothing I won't wear.

I know most people use their phones to tell time, but there's something very romantic and beautiful about a timepiece.

Beauty is no accomplishment on its own. It's what you do with it.

I'm a sucker for fried chicken - I really love it.

Decide which you want to play up: your clothing or your jewelry, but not both. Let one be the star and one the supporting player.

I don't have any stigma attached to my body. When I'm in my own private space, I have very little on.
