Fashion intersects a lot with art and film and music and that was appealing to me. I read a bunch of fashion blogs and wanted to be part of the community.
I do find working with people in the entertainment industry hard. It can cause anxiety and depression.
I have a problem with people saying feminine means anti-feminist and I think it's counter-productive to immediately associate anything 'girly' with vanity or stupidity.
I think it was my mom's attitude about art and being part of the narcissistic digital generation or whatever that made me think anyone would care what I had to say about anything!
Oh God I'm awful at sports. In gym I just try and avoid getting hit in the face.
Meaning lies in the magic of the coincidence that you should come across work at just the right time.
One thing that I always liked about fashion was that it was tied in with music and art and film.
I'm not obsessively a follower of fashion in the way I used to be. But I still have all those magazines I bought at the time because I bought ones that felt a little timeless more like books.
The idea that feeling confident and feeling misunderstood are mutually exclusive really bugs me.
Feminism to me means fighting. It's a very nuanced complex thing but at the very core of it I'm a feminist because I don't think being a girl limits me in any way.
What makes a strong female character is a character who has weaknesses who has flaws who is maybe not immediately likable but eventually relatable.

I think it'd be great to own a fun concept store with my friends and just sell books and records.
Feminism is not a rulebook but a discussion a conversation a process.
When you're a kid you're already trying to create your own world and organize the one in front of you but then you get all insecure around 6th grade and don't think you have a right to share that.
It brings me no joy and not enough comfort to dwell too much on things I've said or written or made or worn in the past.
You don't need to be a completely complete human right now â?¦ That's what makes you human.
There's danger in glorifying negative emotions as fuel for art.
My only job has been to say that you have to try different things and let yourself become a different person have experiences.
I think that everybody wants to be heard and the easiest way to be the loudest is to be the hater.
I try not to do anything I don't like so I stay motivated pretty easily.
If the next thing I do is not necessarily filling the role of 'the future of journalism ' it'll probably be whatever is making me happiest and that's enough for me.
If you are intimidated by the artists who came before you understand you too have a place right next to them.
The best cure for procrastination is to have so much on your plate that procrastination is no longer an option.
Sometimes you want something really serious that makes you feel emotional and makes you think and sometimes you do just want a pop song. What I love about Taylor Swift is that she offers both.
I feel like a young adult. In high school I never felt like my professional life and my personal life were at odds because my job has never been to be a role model for young women or teenagers.
You don't have to be special you just have to be kind.
