My whole thing is that I'm into vintage stuff but also futuristic and modern stuff. I love the idea of making old things new and new things old. It just makes sense to my brain.

[on husband Jason Mingo]: Jason is my best friend, he's my true love. He makes up the other half of my brain. I'm really creative and he's really logical. We just make the perfect team. If we ever need a break from each other - and of course we do, spending so much time in a car and hotel rooms - he'll just go out and find a guitar shop and I'll go and find an art store. I wish I could tell you something really juicy like 'We fight all the time', but we don't. He's just awesome.
