I have an all-Japanese design team, and none of them speak English. So it's often funny and surprising how my ideas end up lost in translation.

Trust me, when they read the [Oscar] results, my face was...frozen. But then I thought about it, and I just decided just to...let it go.

I can't say what I'm going to wear all the time. The minute that I say that, then there's something in me that tips off and then I need to break out of that.

I learn a lot from my experiences and collaborations. Most of my collaborations are meant for me to learn.

Music is what I love to do. Music, fashion, a couple of chairs, I'm cool, I'm grateful.

You get used to it when you feel like you're an artist.

When you start trying to figure out what you're the best at, that's when you become delusional because you start to believe that. [you're the best] I'd rather continue to ride that mule than to ride the cocky horse. You see people spin out of control like that all the time. Those are the most tragic stories – the most gifted people who start to believe that it's really ALL THEM. It's not all you. It can't be all you. Just like you need air to fly a kite. It's not the KITE – it's the AIR.
