I think the way the world has evolved, it's maybe caught up to me. It makes more sense and it makes it click on a larger scale.

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

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.

I've always loved plastics and rubber, and it's such a specifically unique material that you have to have the manufacturing abilities to make it.

I guess I always think of myself as more of the people. I always feel like a bit of an outsider.

I have to love the DNA of the brand fundamentally. I need to be able to fuse my personality with theirs. That's what I've done with Adidas, Swatch, and in a different way with Moschino. I really have to feel fused with it.

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