I think the greatest reward I have is getting up and going to work each day. I love what I do.

Work hard. Believe in yourself. It's not the publicity that sells the clothes, it's the woman.

I'm a very restless person. I'm always doing something. The creative process never stops.

When I was a boy, I thought scent was contained in dewdrops on flowers and if I got up very early in the morning, I could collect it and make perfume.
