When I have meetings scheduled so tight that I can't go to the loo, that's where I draw the line!

There are a million things I'd rather do before designing clothes: directing, landscaping.

I always loved fish for the colors and birds for the plumage. In the same way, I loved those women of the cabaret. They were birds of paradise.
