We live in a world where people are really hungry for information, and they're not hungry for information on subjects that they're not interested in.

But I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me.

It's quite nice to see that I didn't have to change who I was to reach two very different types of people.

We don't need fashion to survive, we just desire it so much.

I said, 'Okay, it's the year 2000, I'm getting a computer and a Palm Pilot.' I know how to check my e-mail, and I've listed some phone numbers on it. Half the time the battery has gone out so I can't use it.

Grunge is a hippied romantic version of punk.

Fashion is just something money can buy. People who are stylish are free and have no fear in staying true to themselves. Plus, style is infinitely more interesting.
