In fashion, there are so many gangs, if you identify too much with one, you get caught - I would lose my freedom.
I was very sensitive. I liked everything that touched fantasy and beauty. I dreamed of being a ballerina, but Mother said I was too big, too long.

I have a good sense of humor. I think everything we do should have whimsy in it.
