I love when people walk into my house and start grinning: "This is too much - this is so you!" Why give people brown cardboard when you can give them embroidered, crystal-flecked organza?

Very few people know this, but I love organizational products and tools. One of my favorite places to shop are container stores where you can get bins, boxes and crates to organize your life.

Without aspirations for a better existence, you're stuck in the mud and going nowhere.

I hope that when girls see my clothes, my shoes, or my outrageous jewelry collection, they feel the thrill of wanting more for themselves too. I love what my friend Andre Leon Talley said: "If you are successful, people want to see it. They want to share in your dream".

You can never control other people. You can only control yourself. I have definitely learned that.

Live honestly to a higher note. Life is too short. So, do the best you can and live your life to a higher note.

You can be rich and not be famous. You can be famous and not be rich. But to be rich and famous is a special category all by itself.
