I really do love acting, and it does come very naturally to me. I think I'll be able to succeed.

I've been in New York my whole life. It's changed so much; it's not the New York that I grew up with. All the landmarks of my childhood are gone. I do kind of feel like a bitter old-timer, like, 'These kids don't know what it was like.'

Fashion is just so intense. It really has to be your passion, and it wasn't my passion.

For my first role, I'm going to remember it forever as this incredible, positive experience, and just a miracle. The stars aligned, and it was perfect.

I've always been kind of eclectic.

I could be baking a cake and I'll do it a certain way. If you're just a creative person, it'll come out no matter what.

My mom told me that even as a toddler I wasn't afraid of anything. She thought something was wrong with me. I didn't know how to walk or swim, but that didn't stop me from crawling into the ocean and almost drowning over and over again.

I just love feeling things.

I usually know when something is going to end up being catastrophic but I don't really care. I find that the things that end up being earth shattering are the things that give me the most thrill.

Heartbreak is a luxury in my opinion. In a lot of places in the world there's no time for that. People are worried about how they're going to get their next meal. There's no time to cry over someone.

I can be out very, very late at night because I don't require that much sleep.

For me, lipstick itself is an accessory. I like red, but I really have to be in the mood for it because it makes my lips look really big. I usually will match it with my outfit. I also love a good lip liner - I'm telling you, when I put on the lip liner, it just makes them look even better. I'll do everything. I want big, big, big.

My hair is always the same. It's wavy, so I brush it with a round brush. I'm a brush fanatic. I hoard brushes. I love getting my hair brushed. I will ask my friends to brush my hair for me.

I think I started going clubbing when I was 14. I remember I made a fake ID and laminated it myself. I forget what the name on it was, but I remember it was something so stupid. We went to Kinko's to do it.

I didn't want to act but just as a person I love to try new things and I never want to limit myself.

If I'm scared of something there's more incentive for me to do it.

Fashion and nightlife, the catwalk and the club, are notorious for going hand-in-hand.

As New York City kids, you lived fast and partied hard as teenagers - experiences that informed your design aesthetic.

I think a lot of what I do is for my own personal healing.

If I'm not able to share my experiences with everyone or else, they mean nothing at all.
