All my family worked for Puma. My mother worked there, and my father was the guy that opened and closed up in the evening. We lived in the neighbouring building – just a couple of steps, and I would be in the Puma factory. All 300 people that worked there knew me; it was my adventure playground. I knew everything, even how to make a shoe sole. Lothar Matthaus Read Quote
My habit would have been to veer towards the dark – to prove I was something; edgy, or maybe to prove that I was cognisant of the dark side. Now, with age and confidence, I can say, yeah, that’s true, but I am cognisant of the fact that people can do things well. And can be more loving than you expect. George Saunders Read Quote

I think from going to fittings once a week and having to look in the mirror for two hours, I feel like I built a intuition for what’s gonna work and what isn’t, and I noticed how important tailoring is, especially being a more petite body type. Camila Mendes Read Quote
A lot of stuff doesn’t faze me. I think it’s because I was brought up in a small town, and normally, when you’re from a small town, when you see a famous person, you’d be like, ‘Oh my god. This never happens,’ but I’ve always kind of been like nonchalant. Jorja Smith Read Quote
The term ‘web-series’ has a stigma attached to it because it was created at a time when the only web-series that were being created were being created by people who would have loved to have a television show, but they couldn’t. So they created a web-series instead, on their own dime. And those series look cheap because of it. John Cabrera Read Quote
