My grandmother used to get her shoes made in Paris in the '30s, and they would be shipped to her in Singapore.

I've lived in New York City for over twenty years now, and every single day is like a new adventure. At this point, there are many places I'd love to visit, but I can't imagine living anywhere else on the planet.

I come from an old establishment family from Singapore.

I was born in Singapore, and I lived there until I was 12. I had a very fortunate upbringing.

I think, at least for me, I'm so impressed by Shanghai and how all of China continues to evolve. On a style level, you're seeing this increased sophistication and brand awareness.

My father came from old money. There was less of an expectation for the children to earn a living.

I spent the first 12 years of my life growing up in Singapore. Back then, in the early '80s, it was still a tropical island at the tip of the Malay Peninsula striving to shine on the world stage.

I'm not revealing any deep, hidden secret that there are wealthy people in Asia.

My books are comedies; I want to take my readers on a jet-setting romp, make them laugh, make them swoon at the beautiful settings, and maybe even make their mouths water at all the food.
