Every problem has a creative solution.

You have to keep your eyes and heart open - there are always new things to discover, new problems to solve.

I'm not as obsessive-compulsive about certain things; I give a lot of latitude to people and support people. I know that I can't do it myself and that you're only as good as the people you have behind you.

I wanted to create something that would live on forever, beyond my time, and out of that came Cashmere Mist.

I worked with a writer, Kathleen Boyce. It was a wonderful experience...but I didn't expect that the last chapter would be the last chapter of Donna Karan. That was probably the biggest shock.

If you look at the world today, there are as many solutions as there are problems. I think that is a big part of creativity. That's why I started Urban Zen. Because I wanted to dress and address people.

My biggest faux pas is not giving time for myself.
