Shoes are a mirror of what you want, what you are or what you're missing

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.

There's nothing I liked visually of the period I was a child. There was no dream in it, and nothing sparkled.

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.

Beauty is all about form; proportions and the relationships between one line and another.

Shoes transform your body language and attitude. They lift you physically and emotionally.

I like Adele, Mika, Natacha Atlas and a beautiful old record, 'An Evening with Belafonte/Mouskouri,' starring Harry Belafonte and Nana Mouskouri. What they have in common is they all have incredible voices. I am very much into voices. I would say I'm a fan of voices, not of sound. I'm a fan of singers, not of bands.
