When you think of fashion photography, it's a dream. It's like we all want to be those women. We want to wear those dresses.

I was first drawn to active wear because I enjoy working out, and it's very important in this day in age. I really felt women were getting the tail end of the design in active wear; not getting the technology or design we deserved. It was reserved for men. We were getting the leftover work from the sports design houses.

I loved all those Doris Day visuals of her being a tomboy and then changing into this gorgeous girl in a ballgown.

We always had our own vegetables growing up and now I'm doing it with my kids at our house in the country.

Sometimes I wish I were less sensible.

I'm not offended or embarrassed by the fact that I design clothes for women to wear. So when I meet women who love my clothes, it's a really good, straightforward thing. It makes me feel like I'm doing my job right.

More than anything I want to be fit so I don't get out of breath when I play football with the kids.
