My goal in a couple of years is to try to build a successful fashion house like Armani or Versace. I want that more than anything.
I don't want to end my career and then start something. I like to do something while my career is still hot and I've always enjoyed designing.
My mom taught me how to sew when I was super young; I used to make clothes for my dolls. When I finally went to [fashion design] school [in 1999], I really took to pattern making. Everyone in class was good at something; I was the person, if you need help with your patterns, you come to me and I would help you out.
We're in different categories. She [Venus Williams] does sports, I do more of the fashion side.
