I have a really strong passion for what I do. I don’t see myself doing anything else.

I think sometimes there's a lot of subliminal messaging in everything.

It's important to know when to take your time and not overspend and overdo things, of course. That's why you get things that can be dressed in a thousand different ways.

Other than the obvious, like Cher and Diana Ross, I actually find a lot of inspiration from time periods. So it's not necessarily people, it's the essence of the time period, whether it be the '90s or the '70s or the '40s. The specific time and what vibe it gave you, what the emotion of that time was, and trying to get that emotion again.

I get to represent a lot of different types of women because of my ability to transform into these different people.

I'm going forward, so my clothing line is kind of the physicalization of that. The idea of diversity, of uniqueness, of individuality - that's what this is all about.

[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.
