I never had the dream to be a great designer. My focus was just to do beautiful things.

A lot of women don't like when they're sort of fat, but a fat foot is as beautiful as a skinny foot. Think of Greek statues. Look how many people love the foot of the baby! There is something super-charming about the baby foot.

I love deep cleavage on the foot. It reminds me of Berlin in 1930s, 'Cabaret.'

I never was interested in being part of the fashion world - I just wanted to design shoes. I didn't even know Vogue existed when I was growing up. Vogue, what is that?

I am very bad at drawing. Seriously. I can draw shoes. That's about it.

Nothing needs to be perfect to be good, and no one should need to feel perfect to feel right

I have this disease that if I feel good somewhere, I... buy a house.
