“When you go on your phone to check what time it is, you get so distracted. It happens to me every day. 'Oh, I just wanted to see what time it is, but now I'm magically on a panda video.' This is the easier way, but it's also a part of your personal style. It ends up becoming a part of who you are, and representing what you love.”

It's been interesting to kind of learning to dress around it.”

“Part of why history is so important in my life is because it brings you an awareness that everything isn't new. It gives context to what's happening right now.
