Eccentric is a difficult word because it's come to mean crazy. Avant-garde would be better. Eccentric is not "centric" in terms of having a center. Because sometimes it's used in a derogatory context.

I can't understand it when people are closed-minded. I mean, boy, have I made mistakes and been very wrong. I can't tell you the amounts of times I've been let down, but I still try to see the best in people.

I don't do event dressing, because every day is an event.

If I eat, I can't work. I'll eat when I'm dead.

Fantasy appeals to me and can be very much reflected in my dress - but then, each day is different. Not every day is a magical day.

We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty.

I think life is about having the mixture of the curiosity of an older person and the imagination of a child.
