There is one common philosophy, one thing that you can do no matter who you are or what you look like: You can actually get passionate instead of remaining cool or instead of trying to look like everybody else. You can - you must - immerse yourself passionately in who you are if you want to have style.

I'm not trying to be the next Joan Rivers.

I don't want to offend people.

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

All I want are high heels, high heels. If I was a girl, I'd wear a lot of high heels. High, stiletto heels.

Sometimes I'm really dressed up, and it really turns me on

If you try to have a fashion show with Bach fugues and John Coltrane, it doesn't really work.
