Going to the conventions, seeing the incredible amount of love that people put into their clothing, costumes, gadgetry, and art of all kinds, is a huge treat for me.

I love bringing the colors and textures of other cultures. If I wear a dress that I bought from a street vendor in Bali on a red carpet, it's a way of bringing my travels with me.

I love dressing up for events; to me it's almost like wearing a costume for the evening.

I love going to conventions, and I love spending time with the fans and going to parts of the world where I wouldn't normally go.

I don't necessarily pay extreme attention to what I wear on a daily basis, but I do love to wear something special for an important occasion or when I feel happy.

As for what I might wear, my mantra is that, no matter how chic the event, I don't want to look too prim. I like wearing short cocktail frocks to black-tie events; it just always feels more like me, and a bright red lip is always a staple.

I love weddings: happy people coming together to celebrate in great clothes.

Any opportunity to get into fashion and find a beautiful dress, I'm very definitely excited about that.

I love the opportunity to get properly dressed up. I've worn three Lanvin dresses, and they've all been a dream. They're so well made, with the most beautiful craftsmanship. I don't tend to go with things that are ornate - just beautifully made pieces and some classic jewelry. Let the work speak for itself. I love that.

I like that conventions want me to appear and festivals want me to come speak because they like the climate I attract. It's a good feeling.
