I had no fun. My family was too serious.

I want to confront myself. I challenge and doubt myself. Basically, what I don't like is to get bored.

The process of a date, I think, is terrible. Horrible. Because everything is banal and predicted.

The fashion world is very active and generous, despite the fact that it is not very well respected - or at least not as much as it should be.

If I have done anything, it is to make ugly appealing. In fact, most of my work is concerned with destroying—or at least deconstructing—conventional ideas of beauty, of the generic appeal of the beautiful, glamorous, bourgeois woman. Fashion fosters clichés of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.

The trouble is, most people are not so generous. Everybody wants love for themselves. I hear this all the time from the women I work with. I hear them say, "I want, I want." I never hear them saying what they want to give.

The power of the media is really the only new issue in the last 50 years, probably.
