I think Calvin [Klein] is a minimalist.

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

I'd rather promote New York than anything else in this world because New York to me means the world.

I believe Hillary [Clinton] should be the president. I believe having her and her husband in the White House is what the country needs .

When you grow a business, it belongs to a lot of other people besides you. As much as you want to control it, the minute you go public, it becomes a business . . .

Many of the customers here are traveling all over the world so they need multiple types of clothes. That's one thing about Urban Zen - it is seasonless and it is timeless. So it's not about the fashion of a moment saying, "I have to have it now." It's something that you become a part of...sort of like a sari.

You look at the world situation, look at London, Paris, Italy, it is all basically the same as the U.S. Then you look at other places such as India, Bali, with warmer climates, you know the Southern climates, they are very different. I think there is a time and place for everything and in Australia, for example, it is completely the opposite. I don't think we can be designing for that customer per se.
