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.

It's horrible when people are only interested in buying labels, because it doesn't bring them the happiness they think it will.

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

I remember being mad about having pink and red shoes. I gew up envying other girls' pink and red shoes.

I like getting older and being the person who people ask for help.

Craziness in a shoe is great - you can have much more freedom, you can exaggerate and it doesn't feel stupid. But to have too much craziness near your face, that would just feel weird.

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.
