I can remember years ago, when Kate Moss first came around and there were so many articles. Everyone was saying that it was heroin chic - that she was a waif, that she was anorexic. But Kate would eat just as much as anybody I knew - the media had just turned her into this thing. It must be really, really hard when you're the object of that.

I think there is something about luxury - it's not something people need, but it's what they want. It really pulls at their heart.

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

I am a perfect being in a perfect world.

What's worked for me is not quitting and being passionate about what I do and not giving up - and when I don't believe in myself, turning to others who believe in me.

The attention toward me is basically because of what we've built as a company. If we built a pile of crap then nobody would care what I ate for lunch.

I envy the people who go to Paris the first time
