After becoming pregnant, I had to makeover my pantry just a little to make the proper adjustments to support the baby. I've found some staples that will stick around after the baby is here, too.
If I have stepped on some people at times because I am at the top, it couldn't be helped. What should I do if someone gets hurt... retire?
I am not an angel and do not pretend to be. That is not one of my roles. But I am not the devil either. I am a woman and a serious artist, and I would like so to be judged.
Things aren't much wilder now, I don't think, than they were back then. Of course I just read about all the goings-on now. Ha.
No man with a conscience can just bat out illustrations. He's got to put all his talent and feeling into them!
The View of life I communicate in my pictures excludes the sordid and the ugly. I paint life as I would like it to be.
It would have been easy for me to bring out a real cheesy pop song, but 'Please Don't Let Me Go' isn't your typical 'X Factor' single, and it's a grower, not a shower.

I decided if it was going to be a mistake to come to New York and try and make a career in fashion, then it was going to be my mistake... But the American dream is real. I'm living it.
Color which, like music, is a matter of vibrations, reaches what is most general and therefore most indefinable in nature: its inner power.

Sometimes I get very dressed up just to go to the corner for some bread; I dress for my own amusement.
My favourite eras for styles are still the 70s and 40s, and there will be a few iconic pieces to build the wardrobe around, like there were at Chloe, but I want there to be a feel of mix-and-match.
