Fragrance is so intimate for a lot of women - it's your essence, your identity.

I hate the whole concept of comfort!

Fashion isn't interesting when it comes from an uninspired place. It's like voodoo; we don't want things that are soaked in blood, sweat, and tears. I adore life, and I'm very easygoing - and it shows in my work.

I hate the idea of natural. For example, I prefer gardens to wild nature. I like to see the human touch. High heels are a complete invention - an extravagance. They're far from natural, but it's the impracticality that I adore. I prefer the useless to the useful, the sophisticated to the natural.

When you do something you love, you have a passion for it. It comes naturally. Staying true to yourself and doing what you love keeps you going...everything else falls into place.

I don't like conflicts. I'm not a competitive person at heart. To be in the middle of turmoil is boring.

I hate the whole concept of the clog! It's fake, it's ugly, and it's not even comfortable!
