Society should emphasize personality. Accomplishment. Interest. Intelligent things. I think everybody should look as good as possible too.

I don't have any rules, because I would only be breaking them, so it's a waste of time

You're not pretty, and you'll never be pretty. But, it doesn't matter. You have something much better. You have style.

I'll spend more time getting dressed than I spent at the actual event.

I think fashion is just part of my life and if it hadn't of been fashion then it would have been something else.

My mother gave me very good advice years ago. I grew up in the Great Depression and she always told me to get a good little basic black dress - well-cut, well-made, good fabric - and it could take me through everything. I could go to the office in the morning and stay out all day in the same dress. Just by changing accessories, because they are so transformative, you can make six different outfits. I find that very useful. My mother worshipped at the altar of accessories and I'm an accessory freak, as everybody knows. That, I got from my mother.

You have to look in the mirror and see yourself. If it feels good, then I know it's for me. I don't dress to be stared at, I dress for myself.
