You can become quite blase, and also, I have no sense of home; I don't have roots. I've never had that feeling that someone else is going to take care of me, ever. I don't trust people.
Most things in life come as a surprise.
The problem is, when I talk about heartbreak or whatever, people want to melt it down to some break-up of a relationship, but it's not about that. If you're a sensitive person, just stepping outside can be heartbreaking.
I don't want to break someone's heart, but you can't control that. A broken heart happens; that's inevitable.
It's in every person's life, around 27 to 29 years old, the stars and the planets align themselves to exactly the way they were when you were born. You're faced with yourself. There's no running away.
I will grab any opportunity I can to learn something new.
I do everything: I'll have a green juice, then a melted chocolate ice cream. I stay up very late, I get up very early.
The thing is, if you're in this world, you have to do things for yourself, not for others, because everyone will judge you for anything.
I'll always be in some type of turmoil. So what I've tried to do is just surrender to that.
I honestly kind of hate shopping. My favorite places to shop are rich old lady consignment stores.
It's amazing, coconut oil. I use it as a moisturizer. I put it in my hair when I want a kind of greasy look. I take off my makeup with it. I put a little bit in my coffee. I have coconut oil with everything.
I'm a vagabond. I live out of one suitcase. I feel very comfortable in black. I feel very uncomfortable in anything else than black.
When I was very little, I was into Michael Jackson. At six or seven, it was Madonna, but she's not what she used to be. I've been into everything from Edith Piaf to Joe Strummer to the Velvet Underground to Suicide to A Tribe Called Quest to African music.
Music and fashion are a sign of the times and a reflection of what people want and need at this very day and age.
