The fact that people look at pictures so tiny on Instagram - people ask me about it popping on Instagram, but I didn't alter myself to be that. I didn't change for the screens, I've just been doing me.

When I first started my own brand, when I needed an icon, I had no other icon but myself. I had to create that.

I have so much to be thankful and grateful for, and I just think about my fans, who did put me to where I am. I can promise you this: my appointment at Moschino did not come from anyone but them.

I just love the ideal of the surreal quality of putting it on a shoe.

I think when people think of something as basic, they think that it's boring.

I have to birth those ideas. Those designs have to come into the world. It's not only my goal, it's my reason for being on the planet. If I'm not doing them, then I'm not fulfilling my calling. It's very instinctual for me.

Madonna is the ultimate pop star of all time, hands down.
