I do remember how sexy my collection was after I first got involved with Stephan [Weiss]. That's one thing I don't have in my life now and...if anything, that's one thing I would love.

Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul. For me, designing is an expression of who I am as a woman, with all the complications, feelings and emotions.

I was so overwhelmed by India when I first came - it still inspires me because I still go for the culture, I still go for the colors.

Its all about finding the calm in the chaos.

I sit quietly and repeat my mantra until I'm in a meditative state, taking it all in but not focusing on any one thing.

I don't feel burdened, but I do feel a little frustrated. Because I see the problem, and I can see the solution - but there are two strongly different points of view on this - like the Republicans and Democrats.

Fragrance is the first layer of dressing, a woman's invisible body suit.
