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.

I suppose I felt guilty not to be doing something more important, more political. So in a way I am trying to use the company for these other activities.

Clothes can be important. I am learning this. For instance, often when I design and I wonder what is the point, I think of someone having a bad time in their life.

Basically I'm trying to make men more sensitive and women stronger.

This is an example of hypocrisy

Now, I'm not saying I'm fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.

In America many things that are interesting are seen as odd.
