Growing up in Beirut, I used to go to the souks with my mother to buy fabrics... I understood fashion at an early age, and my first designs were when I was five.

I hope that the women who wear my perfume will have men all over them.

As you know, all women at all ages do not feel their ages anymore. The young girl feels older, and the older woman feels younger.

I am my own cheerleader. I am the one who puts my goals, who pushes myself to get to the next goal. I don't have someone next to me saying, 'Here you go, now do this, it's your next step, go for it.'

To find out my song made the top 10 was honestly a dream come true. I think it's something that I've dreamed about, and anyone dreams about, their whole life.

I am overwhelmed with the love and affection of the people. Girls have written letters calling me their inspiration, which has touched my heart.

I am one of those people who thrive on deadlines, nothing brings on inspiration more readily than desperation.

Whether it's color palettes for my apparel collection or materials for handbags and shoes or inspiration for fine jewelry, traveling expands your mind and opens you up to different things you haven't seen before.
