You put high heels on and you change.

I adore Jean-Louis Trintignant - even at 100 years old he's fabulous.

You get two weeks after you do a shoe where you can test whether it's good or not - if you're going to like it in 20 years. Then I know that it's going to be my shoe for a long time. That doesn't happen very often, but it happens.

People walk differently in high heels. Your body sways to a different kind of tempo.

I don't consider myself a fashion designer.

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.

It's the only thing I get inspired by! I get inspired by dreams. Who cares about the rest?
