“For my 'Love Is All We Need' video, I play a designer at a company that makes great clothes. I'm also all the models on the runway. The multiple Mary's wear Thierry Mugler and Fendi. My favorite is the long sheer dress I wear with a burgundy wig. I didn't realize how sheer it was until I saw the video on the t.v. I was like 'Oh my God! I'm naked!' I didn't know the dress was going to show that much. Some of the clothes I wear on the runway are my own. And some I went right home with.” --Allure magazine (1997)
