I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting.

I always wanted to be a fashion designer so I just have to remember that as long as I'm doing it I'm living the dream.

A lot of models achieve that kind of iconic position by working primarily with one photographer.

Staring up at the sky on a bright, sunny day makes me dream and gives me ideas.

I think of many people and no one as a muse. I love the way Sofia looks always, and I love the way Kim looks always. Fashion may be part of their world, but it's not their whole life. It's not everything.

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.

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.
