Come on now! How could you be me and want to be someone else?

Maybe I shouldn’t have these dreams and aspirations. Maybe I should have given up on life ten years ago and stopped fighting for my truth.

It’s like telling Michelangelo: ‘I know you painted this dope angel, that was really good, but Michelangelo, I don’t think you can paint a cow.’

I use the world as my therapy – as my therapist.

All this is saying is, OK I see now, the ‘hood does not quite want Shirley Bassey yet, so let me still give them this. Crack Music was made after Diamonds. After black people were like, ‘I don’t know about this one.’ It was like me reaching too high for the cookie jar.

Ever since the Taylor Swift moment, it’s never been the same – the connection with radio.

I like to be stylish and edgy, but also low maintenance.

You have to look good.

Peach smells sooooo good and perfect for summer. Vibes is sultry and fresh!

The idea was to expand the concept of family, as it’s part of our history, and we wanted other families of women. In the case of the Kardashians, they are all three of them very strong women, with strong personalities. It’s an iconic family

I’ll put on a punk rock T-shirt, a ’50s style skirt, and a pair of flip-flops. I like to mesh a whole bunch of things together.

I’m not ashamed to dress ‘like a woman’ because I don’t think it’s shameful to be a woman.

I think in volumes, I imagine in colours, I design in lights

I wash my face every night with Ivory soap, and I don’t wear much makeup.

A fine timepiece is part of dressing like a gentleman. When I first made a little money, I bought my first watch which was a Rolex Daytona. It was just one of those things that said I was successful.

A lot of musicians put diamonds on things to show they had money. I on the other had felt that a Rolex Daytona showed I had style and I didn’t need to be flashy.

Clothes are fun. The designers have so much fun making them, you should have fun wearing them, too.

It’s the 90’s. You don’t want to look rich.

For me, skinny is just a style of jeans – not a goal.

I wear the same outfit or, at least, a different copy of it almost every day.

I dyed my hair blonde when I was 14. My mom was not happy. But I love being blonde.
