I'd love to talk to Angelina Jolie. On my show I would love her because she's a mysterious, mysterious figure.

You're not working with models, you're working with real women who have, like, anatomy. Models do not have anatomy

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

To me, you can't have style without being inspired. When I design a collection, I am inspired by so many things. The color of a flower. The shape of a butterly's wing. The juxtaposition of an old tenement building next to a shiny new skyscraper.

I'd love to talk to Joaquin Phoenix because he's a very private guy. Also, he's creating a new kind of sexy leading man. To me, his face is new and might be legendary someday.

If I just do it, it will take less time than telling someone what I'm thinking, and have them free associate, and then come back to me and I'll hate it and I'll have to redo it.

I equate peonies with love because they're the first blooms of summer.
