I love punk, I love a lot of British Invasion bands, I love garage bands.

I think I'm a global citizen. My parents came from China, were educated in France and emigrated to the United States. And I think that opened up my mind to be able to live and work anywhere.

I never intended being a business person I wanted to be a fashion designer.

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?

When punk really started to happen, it was a reaction against the disco craze of the time.

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

I think that fashion has become such a big business and with globalization we are on new territory at this point. We are not just designing for a country we are designing for a world now.
