I can't tell you how much I appreciate these young [Israeli] designers. There's too much strife in the world. If we become united in our creativity, not only in what we wear, but what we do, we will change the world. It's truly an honor to be around such inspiration.

I realized I needed to address people, not just dress them.

I wanted to create something that would live on forever, beyond my time, and out of that came Cashmere Mist.

My mind is always racing with ideas or things I should be doing.

I'm not as obsessive-compulsive about certain things; I give a lot of latitude to people and support people. I know that I can't do it myself and that you're only as good as the people you have behind you.

My biggest style regret is that I can't fit into the models' clothes.

If I weren’t doing what I’m doing today... I’d be traveling around the world on the back of a motorcycle.
