What is fashion? It's discipline. Discipline and a credo to do only the best, down to the smallest detail.

I like the new shoe designers. Not all of them - there are really bad ones too. But I go to the colleges with these kids for lectures, as an honorary professor or whatever, and this Chinese girl I like very much who I give the award to says to me, "You don't know how much you inspired me to do shoes." And I'm glad that I convey that kind of desire to people when they see my bloody shoes.

These are very dainty and superrefined, but really vile.

I'm going to do what I do, even more exaggerated. This is my attitude always. I don't betray myself at all.

I'd been to Saint Petersburg before, but there's been a change in people's minds. Maybe it's a fashionable thing, but people have returned to the churches. I went to a Russian Orthodox and a Catholic church - both of the queues, enormous!

I'm a doodler. It was my first job as a boy, and I still do it. At night I keep a block of paper and a pencil with a huge piece of string next to me. When I have an idea, I grab the string and just doodle.

Women are wearing tight and sexy clothes again. It is the body-conscious mentality, and women are revealing every bulge.
