I always wanted to be a teacher.

My fashion philosophy is that if I like it, I wear it.

When I was a kid I had this funny blonde hair and everyone called me 'Chick' because I looked like Tweety Bird.

At night when I can't sleep, I play blackjack online until I get tired or I lose my money.

I got in trouble in Catholic school for rolling the waist of my skirt down.

I love online gambling.

I'm not a snob about which looks are 'this season' and which are 'last season.'

When I signed the license, I thought the media wasn't going to pick up on it if I used my real name, Nicholai Hilton.

I could have just received royalty checks every month by lending my name to a collection, but I didn't want to do that. My name is a reflection of me.

I interned at 'Hamptons' magazine. I was 12. I walked around with a pad and was like, 'What do you guys want for lunch?' to all the people who worked there.

I'm following my dreams and doing what I love as a designer. I did not want to be one of those kids with a famous last name that doesn't do anything. That is very unfulfilling to me and I'm very happy.

These are clothes my friends and I could wear. This ain't Prada. I don't want to be one of those celebrities that slaps their name on a label and collects royalty checks. Everything on that runway reflects me.
