A woman tells a story with her clothes, but it's the shoe that carries her.

Even today, I am still very child-like while designing. It's a bit like Christmas - each of your designs you create is like unravelling your presents.

You're abandoning a lot of ideas when you are too into comfort. 'Comfy'-that's one of the worst words!

What was called extreme 20 years ago definitely isn't extreme anymore. When I started, I remember people saying, 'Oh my God, I can't walk in that!' It was like, three inches - they look like kitten heels now.

I like my customer to be fierce.

Shoes are just a pedestal. What interests me is the power of the woman who wears them.

I'll do shoes for the lady who lunches, but it would be, like, a really nasty lunch, talking about men.
