It's a good addition. There are so many bad addictions. Better be addicted to shoes than something else

I would say that a good shoe is exactly like a good wine. These shoes are going to stay and last for a long time.

Being on a trapeze is like dreaming. I feel totally outside of myself when I'm flying. You know, designing shoes, my imagination is flying in my drawings.

I hate the whole concept of comfort!

My job is designing shoes. It's work that happens behind the scenes, as they say, and that suits me just fine because in general I am a shy person. But sometimes I have these extroverted outbursts.

The most outrageous shoe that I had to do was a shoe where the person gave me stones - precious stones - and say that I could do anything with precious stones.

I would hate for someone to look at my shoe and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!'
