I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.

The big room or big suite doesn't mean a lot to me. It is what the people do or don't do that matters.

If you take something out of the freezer, it's cold, but what happens when it melts? It's a cool party, a cool person, a cool collection. What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that are uncool, things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility.

I was a fat child; I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.

I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.

I think that because I'm overweight, [my] fantasy was lightness. So I project my fantasy to the clothes, and now all I do is light, light clothes because it's the one thing I don't have. That is why I'm too afraid to lose weight because then I might make heavy clothes.

When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.
