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.

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.

Meet people from other cultures, so you understand that the world doesn't swirl around you.

Everyone wears what they feel great in, or comfortable with.

I wouldn't take it as a compliment if someone looked at one of my shoes and said, 'Oh, that looks like a comfortable shoe.' There is a heel that is too high to walk in, certainly. But who cares? You don't have to walk in high heels.

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.

If I could do shoes for anyone, it would be a special project for the Queen of England.
