AW:Hi Carrie!Welcome to my office!I'm very happy to have you here.
CM:Hi Anna!It's so nice to meet you again.
AW:Well,what should we start with?
You started working since what?14?
CM:Umm,yeah,I actually ran away from my parents' house and moved to LA,and then just started working and making money in any way I could,you know I just couldn't handle my mom always wanting to know where I spent the money at.
AW:Are you in a good relationship with your mother right now?
CM:To be honest,we never been very close,but I call her twice a week to ask if everything is fine,I don't really have time to visit,but I do when I can.
AW:What about your father?
CM:He was the one making money all the time,he missed a lot of my childhood but we have a great connection anyway,I'm like his little princess,you know what I mean?
AW:That's great!Now tell me how you became who you are today.
CM:I feel like hard work pays off,you cann't sit and wait for something to happen,it's not how things work,I worked in a shop,I've done so much modeling jobs,acting jobs and publicity to get here.It's not all simple and easy as it looks,I mean there are hundreads of people behind a music video and you have to stay comfortable and natural,its CRAZYY!!
AW:Why are you not mentioning your clothing line and the boutique?
CM:I thought we would keep it for the end but since you already mentioned it,
I'm actually working on a newclothing collection and I'm opening my own boutique again,
I can't yet tell you when is all of this is happening,all I can say it's in process.
AW:Can you tell why was your last boutique closed?
CM:I just lost my inspiration and I couldn't let anyone else design the pieces,so I decided to close
and come back when the inspiration is back.
AW:What if you'll lose your inspiration again?
CM:Let's just hope it's not going to happen..
AW:Are you and Claire still together?
CM:Actually no,we broke up like 5 month ago,but we decided to remain friends,she,s actually on
tour right now,can't wait to check it out.
