Both my grandmothers had upright pianos, and I just knew how to play since I was a child. Nobody taught me. I sounded like a grown-up, and then I learned how to read music. I played so well by ear I could fool the teacher to believe I could play the notes. She'd make the mistake of playing the song once, and I could play it. ↗

I already have legitimacy as a filmmaker and now I'm trying to do stuff that's just fun. Until I find a cool tangible subject again that I want to tackle. ↗

I came from a different world from other designers because I already had such a strong fan base that was interested in fashion. You have to give the little divas something. ↗

An attempt is already underway to revise history - to leave the impression that the former president had nothing to do with Watergate. But there is no doubt about his obstruction of justice after the Watergate break-in. ↗

I do think I was trying to entertain the reader more than I was trying to purge myself. ↗

I feel like if you read something, and it makes you so curious about a topic that you then go read something else, that's exciting. ↗
