I was terrified the first time that I had a big problem in my business. I was obviously terrified when they diagnosed me with cancer in 1994. I was terrified when my son used to drive too fast. But I do believe in the fact that fear is not an option, so I always try to face it and not be afraid.

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

I don't care about fashion, I care about women.

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

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.

It is more important to be pretty as a woman than to be fashionable.

If there is one rule for dressing, for fashion, it’s pretty much the same rule as for everything else in life: Don’t go against yourself, don’t go against your own nature. It’s only going to show.
