A bathroom should be sterile and beautiful and functional. It should exude Japanese-style purity.

Half the time I don't even think about it, I just throw something on because I'm so late or so busy.

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 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.

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

Where is the real low thing? Where are the jelly shoes that you find that are sick because they’re so great…Everything has air quotes around it now.
