I never try to make a major fashion statement but I want to be the friend in a woman's closet. I make dresses that women get laid in.

Resisting a beautiful chocolate cake or a wonderful foie gras is as difficult as (the idea of) saying no to Paul Newman.

I wanted to be a certain kind of woman. I became that kind of woman.

I was born in Belgium. I went to school in England and in Switzerland, then I came to America, so I really feel like I am a citizen of the world.

If you pay attention, everyone is a novel. The most boring person, if you sit down and really listen, is someone interesting.

The relationship that counts most in my life is the one I have with myself. I have a great, great, great relationship with myself, and it gets better and better as I get older. The other day, I was talking to Barry in the car and I said, 'I'm so glad I'm me!'

Be the Woman You Want to Be.
