I don't love reading so much, but I love book shopping.

I’ve reached a certain age where I love to work. I could just live here [at the studio].

I cannot live without art: it excites me, it challenges me, and it leads me to the next thing.

I hate to sound esoteric, but there is something about a house that leads you to that one chair, that one corner, where you just sit and feel comfortable.

I drape a lot. I cut. I have to touch. For me, it's almost impossible to start without that.

I wasn't a club kid. I wasn't an artist. I was just a foreigner, trying to soak it all up. I had quite a lot of fun.

I didn't know who Calvin Klein was, really. But Brooke Shields, we knew her from those incredible commercials - "There's nothing between me and my Calvins." I knew very little about American fashion then. I had no money, and Charivari was very educational to me. And Parachute. I was fascinated by those stores. I couldn't buy anything; I just went through the clothes.
