“I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern.”

“"What does she want?"
"Constant meetings. Depositions. The Clave keeps wanting to hear what happened when we fought Sebastian at the Burren. We've all had to give accounts, like, fifty times.

I was made this way

I was made this way
What more do you want
What do you want from me”

“I want to live in a world where people are judged by who they are instead of what size they wear.”

“Oh, we get along. She lets me have my own way, and later I find out I’ve done just what she wanted me to do.”

“Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.”
