When I first came to New York, I would scream like a girl and run to the other side of the street if there was a pigeon. Now I can face off with a pigeon.

I always joke deep down I'm really a teenage girl on the inside.

I take stuff from real life and try to make a character out of it. And I try to live the world of the characters a little bit.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

I spend a lot of time on eBay buying vintage. I also really like Alexander Wang, Miu Miu, Vivienne Westwood, McQueen and Balmain.

I adore my apartment in New York. It was a ballroom that I remade, so it's like a loft but done by Louis the Fifteenth.
