It's hard to balance everything. It's always challenging.

My closet is organized by tops, pants, and outerwear, but not a lot of dresses. Gowns are in another room because I don't often dress formally, even though I design gowns. Like most designers, I have a uniform, and mine is a legging.

I make things of my own that aren't that glam, but I'm not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.

They never ask the celebrities why they don't wear their own clothes on the red carpet.

The funny thing is that I'm the girl who no one sees at the beach. Ask anyone who's traveled with me. Normally, I'm in so many layers, I look like Lawrence of Arabia!

Ready-to-wear is what I've wanted to do since the beginning. ... I'm not a girl who spends my life in a ballgown

When you have a passion for something then you tend not only to be better at it, but you work harder at it too.
