We literally just finished making this gown 20 minutes ago. I love it. It's my favorite color.

I'm a complete human being. I'm very emotional and loving. I feel, I hurt, I give, I take, and also I think. I analyze. I'm a sociologist, anthropologist.

I think that when Riccardo Tisci wanted to bring more attention to the lack of African American presence on the runway, he also wanted to bring attention to the lack of a sensibility of African and Asian art.

When it comes to fashion or any high art, you have to have a combination of delicacy, along with taste.

I don't know... I've been doing it for 17 years now, so of course I've seen pictures and thought, "Oh my god, I wish I would've never worn that." Yeah, but I did! And it was probably because it was my favorite thing at the time - my clothes always have some kind of emotion attached to them.

All of my children are the same way I am. They're little artists too, in their own ways.

The reason why you don't see people looking like me is because I don't encourage that. I encourage you to be you.
