When I started my own business, my main reason for designing clothes was that I wanted to dress rock stars and the people who went to rock concerts. It didn't go beyond that aspiration at that point.

DJs are the new rock stars.

Rock stars are incredibly energizing to me.

I think there are rock stars within every subgenre, and for people who are obsessed with musical theater Sutton Foster and Audra MacDonald are like Beyonce to them. I'm sure the a cappella world has their own version of that, and that exists in every geeky subculture.

It was always my belief that rock and roll belonged in the hands of the people, not rock stars.

I write about nerds who go the extra mile and become rock stars.
