What have you learned from your kids? They bring things to your attention that you would usually brush off because you're used to them. It's kind of like you get a second view that you wouldn't have revisited if it wasn't for them, a different perspective on things that we're not sensitive to anymore. Basically, you relive childhood to a certain extent, which is very interesting. -Ralf_Interviews throughout by Lauren Kranc

Do you have a piece of clothing you're saving to pass down? When I moved to New York, there was Studio 54, Area, and then Nell's. So when I started working there, we thought we were really cool. We had these jackets that had NELL'S on the back. I saved this jacket. I was like, 'No, I'm not throwing this out. Even though I'm not wearing it, I know that [Silas] might want it.' And he wears the Nell's jacket all the time. -Daryl
