Animals come from nature. They were not designed. All my inspiration comes from nature, whether it's an animal or the layout of bark or of a leaf. Sometimes my patterns are very bold, and you can barely see where they come from, but all the textures and all the prints come out of nature.

You don't want to exaggerate any feature noticeably. I think only truly beautiful women can exaggerate and they usually don't have to.

Simplicity and sexiness, that's what people want. At a price that's not outrageous.

Aging is out of your control. How you handle it, though, is in your hands.

Fashion can be this mysterious thing that you can't explain.

The real story is that I am very free, that I've managed to be who I wanted to be without compromising.

I am almost a vegetarian, and I meditate, do yoga and love to hike.
