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

Maintenance is terribly important.

Men tell me that I've saved their marriages. It costs them a fortune in shoes, but it's cheaper than a divorce. So I'm still useful, you see.

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.

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

Alas, passion is conducive to certain other things because when you have too much passion and you have too much work, you possibly end up having black holes. The danger is too much passion.

When somebody wants to work and believes in something, it doesn't matter if you're well known or rich or whatever it is.
