I think my parents were immigrants, you know, so I guess I would be first generation. Growing up in California.

When people ask about inspirations, and you're like 'oh, it was a flower or a mountain or a pony', some people just think you're insane. I'm worried to come across that way.

My mother has become my daughter and I've become her guardian.

My mother was a seamstress, so making clothes was not something you would willingly go into.

I'm not such a public person.

I love crazy, gaudy bling.

I started in college as a business major and finally transferred to home economics and studied making clothes.
