To Me, Beauty And Makeup And Color

Sofia Is So Active, And She Made The Virgin Suicides, Which I Thought Was Great - All These Things Are Inspiring To Me, Not In Terms Of Creating A Particular Dress, But Just In Terms Of Knowing That There Is This Type Of Woman Out There.

I Like To Take On The Thing I Don't Like At The Moment. I Like To Find Something That Looks Wrong Or Feels Off, Something That I Would Never Have Done In The Past, Like Brocade. And Then All Of A Sudden, If We Can Make Brocade Work, Then We've Really Done Something, Because I Hate It. And That's Just A Reference. I Don't Actually Hate Brocade.

I Think Something Happens With Age. And I Find This Really A Lot In What I Read From Certain Art Critics: For People Who Are All About Change-people Who Are Supposed To Be Intellectually And Culturally Drawn To The Idea Of Change And How The Voice Of A Creative Person Affects The World On A Bigger Scale Than Just The Canvas-i Would Expect A Person In That Position To Have That Open Mind. It's Only A Sign Of Age That They Become So Locked In Their Own Rules That They Forget That This Is What It's All About.

What's Worked For Me Is Not Quitting And Being Passionate About What I Do And Not Giving Up - And When I Don't Believe In Myself, Turning To Others Who Believe In Me.

I Never Cared About Buying Things For Myself, Like Clothes. And Then All Of A Sudden I Realized How Great It Is To Be Very Precise About The Shirts That I Wear And All The Things That Are A Part Of My Closet. So The Ritual Of Fashion And Shopping Became Very Personal To Me.
