Get on the fashion nerves of your peers, not your parents - that is the key to fashion leadership.

I went to the Vatican once - it was a bad idea. I went into the bookshop and I bought hideous, pious postcards and then I asked for a receipt, and the nun said, "We don't give receipts at the Vatican." Which threw me into a rage of like, "I guess not, so you can take this money and funnel it into anti-homosexual groups!" People had to drag me out of there. It's not good for me to go into the Vatican.

People who want to act rich when they're upper-middle class. They try too hard.

My hobby is extreme Catholic behavior - before the Reformation.

I love hipsters! Yes, I think they're hilarious. The really cute ones try to look ugly just to prove "I can't be ugly." Normcore was kind of funny too.

What's fascinating to me is that in rich-kid schools, it's better to be gay. No one is discriminated against because they're gay in a rich-kid school. But in poor-kid schools, it's often not the same. So being gay is a class issue now.

"How could you think of such awful things?" liberal critics always ask. "How else could I possibly amuse myself?" I always wonder.
