You come to Paris, you get true originality, and it's wonderful.

The most luxurious item is a beautiful bed and beautiful, simple sheets.

When I was a young boy, growing up in Durham, North Carolina, the women in my family were truly passionate about their clothes; nothing was more beautiful to me than women dressing with the utmost, meticulous attention to accessories, shoes, handbags, hats, coats, dresses and gloves to attend Sunday church services.

You cannot live your life in the elitist world of fashion and not step out or you're disconnected. You have to realize that fashion is not the endgame.

I don't understand the world of the Internet. I just type up on my computer.

I know what it is like to be brought up with unconditional love. In my life that came from my grandmother.

I love people - it is not the fashion, it is the people in fashion I love.
