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.

The core of my work is dedicated not to pleasing women, but to pleasing men.

In designing shoes for myself; I'm not thinking of a specific person or catwalk. I'm just not thinking of clothes at all. I'm always thinking of a naked woman, actually.

When you are too specific on a target, it can drain you. Ask me where I will be when I am 60, and I will have no answer to give.

There is a heel that is too high to walk in, certainly. But who cares? You don't have to walk in high heels.

Really good shoes have to seduce both men and women.

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.
