You can never forget the time you are living in because the past is the past and it will never come back. So to adjust your philosophy and creativity in fashion to the time you’re living in is the most important thing.

I was always crazy even before the drugs.

Some say the economy means that you have to persuade people to invest in clothes - to buy less things but more expensive things. I disagree - invest in jewelry, or a house, maybe, but not in fashion.

People are always surprised when they spend time with my children by how normal they are. They're polite. They're well mannered. They're very down to earth, in a way.

When I meet celebrities, I have to know what they are like and only then can I design. The clothes have to fit their personality.

I wake up at about the same time every day. I sleep well and wake without an alarm clock.

I've learned how to appreciate what I have. And it's a lot. I'm very lucky.
