The fact that people actually want my autograph is crazy.
I want to be different, and fashion gives me that outlet to do that.
I'm not jealous of anybody, because I'm going to live my life the way I want to live it. I'm not going to be like, 'Oh my God they have this, I want that.'

My dad was my swim coach growing up, and I tried to get kicked out of practice every day. I was a little devil kid.
