Whether you're going to a museum or a flea market or flipping through a book, always be on the lookout for something special.

I'm a TV junkie. I'm always flipping through channels.

I would never shop from the Internet or a catalogue; otherwise, how am I going to educate my eye? I just love going out and searching for new things.

Hollywood Regency is a label some people put on me, but I consider myself a modernist in that I always try to make the work feel fresh.

When I find something at a flea market or an antique store, it feels more special and I'm more inclined to want to wear it.

My motto in life is 'Take risks;' you don't have a voice if you don't. You have to venture outside your boundaries. That's what life's all about.
