I saw my future. I pictured it, but didn't quite know how to get there. But I knew that I should never give up.

When travelling, dress as comfortably as possible and don't have expectations of everything going perfectly.

My mother was kind and forgiving and would take in all the waifs and strays in our neighbourhood; we always compared her to Mother Teresa. She taught me a lot.

I was looking at people like Jim Morrison and David Bowie and Mick Jagger and I thought, Ah! I want to look like them.

I thought, if I went into business I'd be able to control my own destiny.

I try not to have regrets and to learn from every experience.

There are many more important things in life than fashion. But fashion, to me, is part of pop culture. And I'm an art collector. I'm obsessed with art and pop culture. And I say that there is fame, fashion, art, music and entertainment, including celebrity, that really moves the needle in society.
