Being in the world of fashion you have to be very self-absorbed, and you are surrounded by people who are very self-absorbed.

I always feel like I'm so boring, but I don't get bored with me.

One of my most laughable moments was when we visited the monkeys in Ubud - they really seemed to like me and at one point, I had three males on my head and shoulders.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I have a private press. I'm a book artist. I publish books of other authors and artists. I do the illustrating. I set the type. I print it myself on my press. I do everything but bind it.
