Even a kick in the ass is good when you're facing the right direction.

I worked in a boutique after work, my second job, selling women's clothes. And that was a way of not just making money but meeting women. That was very exciting job. I loved that job.

Financially Im comfortable. But life has a lot more in store for me.

If you love what you do, it won't be work.

It doesn't matter if it's raining and dark. The sun is shining above the clouds.

I got involved in fashion by accident. When I got to New York, my intention was to have enough money to eat and to stay and I don't have to leave. I just loved New York - the energy, the culture, the freedom.

Love is a key ingredient for creativity.
