I look at myself like a farmer, harvesting my wares and taking them to the market, and then I go back and do it again.

For me, actresses are constantly chameleons, and so they are taking a backseat to their own personality. I don't feel like we're trying to show off their personality as much as let them be a blank slate. It's precisely the reason why I dress more musicians than I do actresses.

I was born dirt-poor with barely a stitch on my back, and no name or prestige attached to me, and no real clout or connections.
