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.

I really wish I had invented the flip-flop. I love flip-flops. It's the one style of shoe I would be so proud of inventing: the Havaiana.

I have no problem with the idea of comfort, but it is not an important thing aesthetically. If you look at a shoe and immediately say it looks very comfortable, in terms of design, it is not going to excite me. Of course, I am not putting nails in my shoes to ensure everybody is in pain, but a heel is not a pair of slippers and never will be.

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.

High heels are pleasure with pain.

Strangely enough, I really think that shoes are a communication tool between people.

Madonna is a feminist and has been doing more for the cause than all the grumpy feminists, who are giving nothing back by being grumpy.
