I’m one of those people who doesn’t follow trends. I set them.

Money does not make you look expensive, it’s taste.

Fashion is a great thing, it's a way to express who you are.

Sometimes I do it more literally, sometimes I do a little softer [interpretation], but I'm just inspired by the past.

I think a lot of women can see themselves in me and a lot of people in general are empowered by seeing someone wear what they want, do what they want, maybe get criticism or get praise, whatever, but still continue to wear and do what they want. I think that a lot of people need that.

[My fashion] line is inspired by real people, so I guess you could say it was listening to them, what they need, what they want and then translating that into coming from me.

If you don't try things and take risks, you don't really grow and figure out what you want.
