I'm really a classicist at heart - with a bit of madness!

Just because you work in the fashion industry, it doesn't mean you live your life in fashion.

You can make jeans and a t-shirt super stylish. It's what you make of it, you know?

I love crazy, gaudy bling.

I don't have a life where it's galas, posh affairs. It's me, my dog and a sofa. And a TV.

I try to always have flowers in the house. I have a florist in Chinatown, and they deliver orchids every two weeks. I like living with living things.

When people ask about inspirations, and you're like 'oh, it was a flower or a mountain or a pony', some people just think you're insane. I'm worried to come across that way.

One of the reasons I wanted to collaborate with Target is because I felt that together we could create a collection that would inspire - one that is cool and chic, but still very accessible.

I have always had a relationship with clothes.

There is a secret hippie within me.

When I say that I'm a businessperson and a dressmaker, it's the truth. I run a business, and I make dresses, I make blouses.

It is very easy to fall in the ocean of love and feel great, but it's difficult to get out of the river of love and forget.

Silence, beautiful voice.

If you’re really listening, if you’re awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly.

Never give up. Just follow your dreams because this business can be so hard sometimes. It doesn't happen overnight where you get an audition or even a callback and get the role. It takes time.

I cannot tell a joke. But I can do a situation, that it becomes a joke.

I never thought of myself in comedy at all... I loved going to the theatre and seeing people wearing beautiful clothes come down the staircase and start to dance.

Space has a way of looking. It seems like it has a presence of vision. When you come into it, it is there, it’s been waiting for you.

Everyone can access the parts of themselves that are great. I'm just a girl from New York City who decided to do this, after all. Rule the world! What's life worth living if you don't rule it?

It's been difficult to find roles that are independent, strong, and self-assured; I always say I can't play the princess. I'm not a pretty princess! I'm a tomboy.

Whatever it is that I am working on is what I become obsessed with.
