When I look at designer books I am sometimes puzzled why they don't share their inspiration, when it's obvious somebody had such great inspiration.

I think whenever people talk about the 'Anna Sui woman,' they're talking about someone that's probably kind of more downtown, and there's always like this ambiguity: Is she a good girl, or a bad girl?

I love the fact that fashion always changes, and I hate the fact that it always changes.

I knew since the age of four that I wanted to be a clothing designer. I read an article in LIFE magazine about two young ladies that graduated from Parsons School of Design, and when they graduated they went to Paris and Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor opened a boutique for them. So I thought, "Oh, I just have to go to Parsons, that's all."

I think about that all of the time and I have this fantasy that I am going to work at a museum someday! I would love to do something like that!

To me if you're going have a show, it should be a show. It should be entertaining and take you on a journey.

I have a big responsibility to my licenses. All my licenses draw from and take ideas from the runway.
