I think 'modesty' is a beautiful word today - and a beautiful attitude.

I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, inventing. The day I cease to learn, I must stop.

I'd rather be relevant than cool.

To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.

A singer can quit once he or she has made ten great songs; a director can finish once he or she has made five amazing films; a writer just needs to write three great books.

I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.

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.
