I started styling people when I was just eight years old, without even knowing what a stylist was.

The thing that I really look for in people is enthusiasm and excitement and, not to sound really sappy, that fire in their eyes.

It's really unfair to working women in America who read celebrity news and think, 'Why can't I lose weight when I've had a baby?' Well, everyone you're reading about has money for a trainer and a chef. That doesn't make it realistic.

I wear things that kind of can look good for extended periods of time - fabrics that don't wrinkle, things that don't stain very easily.

All those things they say about a baby changing your perspective - it does!

What happens style wise behind closed doors, in your home, shouldn't be incidental. Home isn't just where you stow your things or sack out for the night. It should be your private escape.

I did not have a van, or wear Birkenstocks and tie-dyes.
