When I started out in the industry I was 14 and a beanpole, but over the last few years I've grown. For the most part I feel pretty OK with how I look. I know I'm different from the typical Hollywood ideal of what is beautiful. But quite frankly I don't think that's attainable, and I'm happy to represent something different.

I'll declare my own interest right here at the start and admit that, like the vast majority of people, I find youthful looks appealing.

I know people who are incredibly successful who still dress the way they did when they were 18, just because they still think that's how they look good.

Being excitable and passionate is what makes you look good because if you're engaged in what's going on, you radiate youth.

I'm young at heart and dress accordingly.

There's so many companies that are spending so much money on 17-year-olds... I can't compete with that. I'm not that guy anymore, they can't dress me up and roll me out there and make me look good. I am what I am!

As my own boss, I have the opportunity to get to work with great brands like Old Navy, and I get to style some looks together that people can actually buy and afford.

You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.
