A lot of men said they were jealous of me because my shoes excite women in a way they can't.

I don't repeat that many styles if I can help, although some have become classics. I try not to repeat. I'd rather surprise people.

I never was interested in being part of the fashion world - I just wanted to design shoes. I didn't even know Vogue existed when I was growing up. Vogue, what is that?

A woman carries her clothes. But the shoe carries the woman.

When a woman puts on a heel, she has a different posture, a different attitude. She really stands up and has a consciousness of her body.

The stiletto is a feminine weapon that men just don't have.

For me there ain't no high heel high enough!
