When I was a little girl, if I didn't eat my soup, my mother would say, 'You have to think of all the Chinese children who have nothing to eat.' But now, for my children, Chinese people make everything, and for my grandchildren, they buy everything.

My face carries all of my memories. Why would I erase them?

I was 26 when I invented the wrap dress. It was just a nothing little printed dress made out an jersey, and before I know it, I lived an American Dream making more than 25,000 dresses a week.

You can learn a lot from my mistakes more than my success.

I wanted to be an independent woman, a woman who could pay for her bills, a woman who could run her own life - and I became that woman.

The more independent you want to be, the more generous you must be with yourself as a woman.

Don't let any of your good habits get boring.
