I like well-made clothes, and I don't mind spending a lot of money on something that looks super, super simple. I don't like knockoffs.

I have a lifetime project which consists of boxes and boxes filled with envelopes on which people have written my name. I've always thought of it as a kind of double portrait, and a portrait of our relationship, which in some cases means nothing. But it makes me feel connected.

I like the authentic object, and I have no problem paying sixty dollars for a T-shirt if it fits me really well and it's really well made. I like unassuming clothes.

Every time I work on a project, I keep every little piece of paper.

Maybe I don't think I'm touching people, but I am. Sometimes I'm sitting there at three in the morning, proofreading something, and I'm thinking, Is this really worth it? Or am I doing this only because my mother taught me never to give up? Then you realize, no, even if it doesn't come back to you, you are touching people.

Sometimes being an artist is a real drag. It can be incredibly bureaucratic.

My collaborations have to be very positive. I will never work with a person I fight with.
