I'm not necessarily proud of the World Cups and the grand slams won or lost, the amount of points I scored, this record or that.
I stayed away from mirrors when I was younger and I didn't like having my picture taken. I was tall and had braces and felt ugly.
I wish I could fly. Or speak fluent Chinese. Both I think are equally impossible.
Whenever I have even a spare second, I'm in the kitchen whipping up a batch of cookies. I make a mean batch of chocolate chippers.
I was never anorexic, so I was never that skinny. I was never bony-bony. But I remember thinking, I don't want to be this skinny.

You can't just come from Kansas, go into fashion and be all naive. The fashion world is very different to where I'm from.
Neil Young is the prime example, the grand goal, if you will. He's still shredding, and he never lost his credibility.
I also take vitamins because I think when you take care of yourself on the inside it makes a big difference in your skin.
The Beijing Olympics represent China's grand entrance onto the world stage and confirmation of its new superpower status.
While it's nice to appreciate the fashion world... what makes you happy are real relationships and the moments you share with loved ones.
