Beauty can come from the strangest of places, even the most disgusting of places.

There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company.

I'm the pink sheep in the family.

I was never a big networker, but I was a spin doctor, all those shock shows, that's how I got my first backers. But fashion's a scary industry to be in, especially if you've not grown up with it.

There is no better designer than nature

Style is not about the clothes, it's about the individual

Some designers are so airy-fairy people can't connect with them. I hope people can relate to me, to a normal person who just happens to be a fashion designer, that people can take me as they find me. It's not the designer's job to care about what people think. Whatever else I've done, I've never tried to be something that I'm not.
