Every other 16-year-old girl wanted to look at bridal magazines; I could not have been more bored with the notion.

I’ve always loved ‘Before and After’ stories, in books, magazines, and TV shows. Whenever I read those words, I’m hooked. The thought of a transformation – any kind of transformation – thrills me. And that’s the promise of habits.
Since I was 18, I’ve been under orders from magazines and newspapers – chiefly The New York Times and Rolling Stone – to step into the lives of musicians, actors, and artists, and somehow find out who they really are underneath the mask they present to the public. But I didn’t always succeed.
Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: people look without seeing, listen in without hearing.
When I was in high school in England, I wasn’t sure that you could have a career in fashion. In those days, there were very few fashion magazines.

I’ve no wish to appear in celebrity magazines.
I need to be performing. I need to be acting. I need to be designing a condo and ripping down walls and buying new plates and looking at fashion magazines. There always has to be some movement in the artistic department for me to not get really, really low.

I always felt really alone because no one wanted to talk about the things that I enjoyed, and that was really rap music and hip-hop as a culture. You know, having the shoes, using the words, buying the magazines, seeing the videos. And I had nobody to share it with, so I feel like I lived a lot online.
