It's the things that aren't accepted as conventionally beautiful that I find more attractive.

Sometimes I miss hamburgers, I should say that. I miss the tuna pizzas at Mercer Kitchen.

Fashion is such a fairytale and it is such a fantasy. And it's about metamorphosis and sort of changing yourself and playing a part that you want people to see.

Young girls need to learn that sexiness isn't about being naked.

I think scent is sensual. I guess evoking a mood or a spirit is key, and I think with the women's fragrances we have evoked different types, moods or sensibilities of a woman - whether it's Daisy with the sweetness and the innocence or Lola which is more provocative, sexy and sultry.

Clothes mean nothing until someone lives in them.

Sofia is so active, and she made The Virgin Suicides, which I thought was great - all these things are inspiring to me, not in terms of creating a particular dress, but just in terms of knowing that there is this type of woman out there.
