I did go bankrupt because everybody copied me - every single industry. But genuinely, it doesn't matter. I swear I don't care.

Madonna and I worked very closely. I was more like the big sister to her.

I became a freelance stylist to survive, and then I had a kid. I bankrupted in 1988 and had a kid in 1990.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

New York is a city where people are ambitious. They want things.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
