When I moved to New York, obviously I work with a lot of high fashion brands and I get to wear insane, totally crazy bags and all this crazy stuff but still, I'll always go back to my original sense of style.

If I feel crazy, then I'm gonna rock something crazy.

I wasn't that into it or that knowledgeable of fashion until I started working on 'True Jackson.'

It's totally out of control.
