Life is a fashion show, the world is your runway.

I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.

Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk.

I always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I'm recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it's not as commonplace to be recognized.

When I started working, the big models were people like Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. It was a time when there were models who had real personalities and individuality.

Cigarettes and chocolate milk shakes are two amazing things.

I always say I lived my life with my grandmother. She was emotionally stable, and she was very encouraging to me.
