The way that I work is very specific, very thorough, and the process has to be totally clear.

I’m an entrepreneur at heart. I’m not afraid of starting up, starting over or even failing for that matter, because the fact that I try new things in itself is a victory.

I've studied astrology for many, many years, and I feel like it's an incredibly challenging art.

I'm Irish and Cherokee Indian. I can't faint.

My family are very, very religious in Texas. They're Southern Baptists. I left to go to New York when I was 17 and I realised I wasn't Southern Baptist. That's not how I am inclined.
