It was always a fantasy of mine growing up - my favorite program was always 'Little House on the Prairie' - so I always wanted to wear those looks.

Chloe Sevigny

Willa Cather

And there was so much motion in it; the whole country seemed, somehow, to be running.


Willa Cather

I've always liked trees. And then, growing up, I took an interest in ecology, hedges being destroyed, the landscape being turned into prairies.
