I couldn't care less about business.

It's the only thing I really enjoy - so fresh, even now that I'm doing the new sampling. I'm dying to go to the factory, which is like nobody's idea of fun. But it's mine.

Maintenance is terribly important.

I think I make shoes quite okay.

The secret of toe cleavage, a very important part of the sexuality of the shoe; you must only show the first two cracks.

I never wanted to be the most famous, the most beautiful, the most extravagant.

I don't know why my shoes are so popular - I am always surprised and mystified by it.
