Colour can raise the dead.
Fashion and interior design are one and the same.
Great personal style is an extreme curiosity about yourself.
I always tell people I'm very large in Uzbekistan.
I am not a fashionista, and I don't dress up. Usually if I'm at home, where I am now, I'm wearing a robe.
I call myself a geriatric starlet.

I don't look at Instagram. I don't have much to do with social media.

I just roll with the punches.
I like to improvise.

Self-exploration is very painful, but unless you do that, you will never know who you are and who you want to be.
I've always loved to help people, young people in particular.
I never buy what someone says is 'in' or a 'must-have.' I buy what makes me happy.
