When someone says you can't do what you know you can do, then you can't do anything

People say it's really the press who create those soundbites about fashion. That's what sells magazines and clothes.

Even though I grew up as a Sephardic Jew in Brooklyn where we ate Syrian food and went to temple, it was still America.

You can't be melancholy in fashion because people don't respond to it.

I encourage you to stop saying, "I just want to look not so bad" and instead say, "I want to look fabulous."

What if Woody Allen called me and said, I'm working on this movie and there's a really divine role for you. We want exactly you! It would be such a fantasy. Forget it! My idol, Woody Allen!

I don't like people to feel completely described by the clothes they wear of mine. I want them to feel that they're describing themselves.
