Shoes are the quickest way for women to achieve instant metamorphosis.

I always love China, especially the old China.

About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.

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

I don't think about myself very much.

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.

I saw these girls like Sherilyn Fenn and Lara Flynn Boyle that should be working now instead of these anonymous girls. They're all the same.
