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

The designer side of me has many ideas on how the shoes or woman should look, but the man is thinking 'would I want to see my girl in those shoes?'

The shiny red color of the soles has no function other than to identify to the public that they are mine. I selected the color because it is engaging, flirtatious, memorable, and the color of passion.

I never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage.

I prefer buying things and figuring out where to put them later than regretting not buying them.

I haven't yet met a woman who told me, 'I wish I had shorter legs.'

A good shoe is one that doesn't dress you but undresses you.
