Favorite animal: steak.

I, unfortunately, take the subway a lot. It's not my preference, but it is my lot in life.

When we were young, we knew things. We knew basic history, even as it related to fashion. Now, when something reappears, an 18 year old has no clue that it's a revival. Despite the fact that they're almost always online they don't get references. I think that's part of why visual things are becoming so derivative.

remember this: no matter how politely or distinctly you ask a Parisian a question he will persist in answering you in French.

If you feel the urge to write, just lie down and read a book: it will pass.

What I can't be is monogamous. That tends to upset people. I just don't like domestic life.

I used to buy all my shirts at Brooks Brothers, but that was completely ruined about 20 years ago. They discontinued the shirt I liked. If I had only known this - I mean, if you're going to discontinue an item that thousands and thousands of people buy, announce it. Say, 'We will no longer be making our excellent Brooks Brothers cotton shirts that we made for 5,000 years. We're going to change them in some awful way. We're alerting you so you can buy a lifetime supply.' Shirts don't go bad, they're not peaches.
