I love Nic Cage and Meryl Streep.

I've always been kind of eclectic.

I think fashion is a beautiful art.

I've always kind of been an outcast.

I want to conquer everything that I do.

I want to explore myself in every facet.

Maybe the mainstream needs someone like me.

I think a lot of what I do is for my own personal healing.

Nightlife is, to me, a little synthetic, a little desperate?

I pick up subtle cues very well and pay attention to detail.

I'm always changing. I'm always evolving. I'm always growing.

I want to create a TV show, I want to direct, I want to produce.

I mean, we have all fought in a club. I'm kind of known for that.

If I'm scared of something there's more incentive for me to do it.

I'm so many different things in one. I'm like, really, truly a New Yorker.

I can be out very, very late at night because I don't require that much sleep.

New York used to be a place where, if you were different, you were celebrated.

I don't ever want to limit myself based on what other people have told me I am.

If I have a free day, sometimes I'm just reading scripts all day. They pile up.

I can't be a one-hit wonder - though, I don't think that is going to be the case.

I want to use my platform to highlight and shed light on issues that are dear to me.

Fashion and nightlife, the catwalk and the club, are notorious for going hand-in-hand.

Fashion is just so intense. It really has to be your passion, and it wasn't my passion.

I will a hundred percent sell out. Because I'll always be myself... my raw, authentic self.

I like cut-outs, I love knitwear. I just love things that make you feel good. I love looking sexy.

I didn't want to act but just as a person I love to try new things and I never want to limit myself.

I just never thought in a million years that I would be, like, sharing a kiss on-screen with Adam Sandler.

I'm used to things changing, I'm used to having to keep going and not really stopping to think and stress out.

Yeah, I feel as an artist, making a movie is the top of the food chain - that's the peak, the climax of everything.

I've crossed paths with so many different people from all walks of life. Any situation you put me in, I can manage.

I grew up with my dad. He was very eccentric. I had zero supervision in New York. It's kind of like I was an orphan.

As New York City kids, you lived fast and partied hard as teenagers - experiences that informed your design aesthetic.

The '90s were just such an amazing time for movies. There was more money in movies and you could get away with things.

I could be baking a cake and I'll do it a certain way. If you're just a creative person, it'll come out no matter what.

I think as a creative person, anything you put in front of an artist, any type of medium, your specific tastes will come out.

I would just go wherever the wind blew, and I would always get myself into crazy situations. By some miracle, I'm still alive.

Staten Island is like a different world. If you're from Staten Island, you're like not from New York, you're from Staten Island.

I get my eyelashes done. I get my top lashes done, and then I use waterproof mascara for my bottom lashes. It's an easy regimen.

Usually, on sets, they'll have multiples of the same outfit, in case it gets damaged or in case it gets dirty and starts to smell weird.

I think the things that excite other people don't even scratch the surface for me. I need much more to feel the adrenaline and the thrill.

I grew up above a video store. My dad had an account with them and... he was very busy and had his own life. So I just would watch movies nonstop.

You have to use your pain as your gift. If you're able to take something really negative and repackage it as something positive, you've nailed it.

I can't sit around and be bitter all the time. I have to go out and create my own little world, one that won't change when I'm not ready for it to.

I am a creative person, and knew my bigger picture would be writing, directing, and producing; that's what I've always thought I would get to one day.

For my first role, I'm going to remember it forever as this incredible, positive experience, and just a miracle. The stars aligned, and it was perfect.

I have rosacea, so my cheeks always look like I have blush on. So I kind of already look like I'm wearing makeup, which is why I don't wear a lot of makeup.

I want the things that I create to outshine the person that I am perceived to be, which I think is often not accurate and not really representative of who I am.

If my boyfriend was kicking me out of our house, I wouldn't leave peacefully and leave a note. I would have trashed the place. It would have been a lot more traumatic.

I mean, life is kind of like your own movie. You collect your characters to play your friends or acquaintances, your lovers. You're the casting director of your own life.

I like to be as outrageous as possible. I really like to push the boundaries and then I'll have a whole team of people saying like, 'Absolutely not, you cannot wear that.'
