Transcript
No one talks about the struggles of having expensive taste. It is very difficult when you love a piece of furniture or art or clothing and then find out it's thousands of dollars. And people say, oh, there's a dupe on Amazon. It's exactly the same. It's not the same to me. I can feel the difference. I have a physical aversion to cheap. I'll be freezing at a restaurant, and my friend will say, hey. Take my jacket. I'm like, you don't understand. It is physically less painful for me to have goosebumps than wear a pleather jacket with a hoodie built in. And this is something I have to deal with every single day.
