But I'm going to be a real good boy and take it day by day and try to concentrate on what's most important to me, and that's offering women a service.

The new Galliano will be even bigger and better... I love working, it's my therapy. I can draw until four in the morning every night and not feel tired... I've come face to face with my demons, medicine and alcohol. I have rebuilt myself again.

Fashion is a very stressful place to work because of the demands of doing the shows - no one expects a writer to produce two books a year on the dot - but it's also a very toxic place to work.

I have learned so much about myself. I have re-discovered that little boy who had the hunger to create, which I think I had lost.

I love New York. But the energy is so intense

Fashion is above all an art of change.

I have all my life fought against prejudice, having been subjected to it myself.
