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

I don’t want to do a cocktail party. I’d rather people left my shows and vomited.

I think sometimes I might scare the editors, because they might feel they're getting old and they're not understanding it. The problem lies on their side of the fence, not mine. I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era.

There is no better designer than nature

Having money hasn't changed me. If anything it's made my life worse. People come up to you who knew you before you were famous and who didn't come up to you before. I'm a clever designer. I can do what the client wants. But I'm prepared to forget about money if it affects my creativity because, remember, I started off with nothing. And I can do that again.

Fame should be left to the film stars.
