Sometimes the little times you don't think are anything while they're happening turn out to be what marks a whole period of your life.

You have to hang on in periods when your style isn't popular, because if it's good, it'll come back, and you'll be a recognized beauty once again.

What I've always wished I'd invented was paper underwear, even knowing that the idea never took off when they did come out with it. I still think it's a good idea, and I don't know why people resist it when they've accepted paper napkins and paper plates and paper curtains and paper towels-it would make more sense not to have to wash out underwear than not to have to wash out towels.

I always run into strong women who are looking for weak men to dominate them.

New York restaurants are about selling atmospheres.

My image is a statement of the symbols of the harsh, impersonal products and brash materialistic objects on which America is built today. It is a projection of everything that can be bought and sold, and practical but impermanent symbols that sustain us.

I really do live for the future, because when I'm eating a box of candy, I can't wait to taste the last piece.
