I never buy what someone says is 'in' or a 'must-have.' I buy what makes me happy.

You can't try to be somebody you're not; that's not style. If someone says, 'Buy this - you'll be stylish,' you won't be stylish because you won't be you. You have to learn who you are first, and that's painful.

My look is either very baroque or very Zen - everything in between makes me itch.

I'm a hopeless romantic. I buy things because I fall in love with them. I never buy anything just because it's valuable.

I didn't have children, but I never wanted children.

Self-exploration is very painful, but unless you do that, you will never know who you are and who you want to be.
