I only take risks in couture, but I don't take risks in athleticism.

At an early age I discovered the beauty in pictures in 'Vogue' magazine and Ebony magazine, and I would read 'The New York Times.' I had to make my own world within my world because I was an only child.

Luxury is...to be able to take control of one's life, health, and the pursuit of happiness in a way that is joyful.

I personally go to the airport looking like a homeless person, because I think people will leave me alone. But I dress myself with my luggage - all my luggage matches.

I always feel comfortable, basically in any situation except perhaps airports.

I just need green. I need to wake up and see grass and squirrels. I don't want to see skyscrapers.
