I like romance, I like glamour and I like realism. I think that's a great combination.

I don't like the word ['classic']. It makes you think we didn't do any work.

Fashion is a function of lifestyle, and style a function of quality, integrity and timelessness.

Enjoy your family. Do things that you like to do. Stay strong. That's the secret to remaining happy.

Cars are like children: It's hard to say that any one is more special than the other. There are little things about each car that you come to love, whether it's the look, the steering wheel, the way it drives, or even the way it drives differently when you put the top up. They all have identities; they have spirits and characteristics that are truly endearing in some way.

Sometimes when I walk into one of my own stores, I look at the display and say, "This looks so good - I want to buy it." Yet other times I walk in and the displays and mannequins will be all wrong, and I don't want to buy anything. When a customer walks into a store, she's looking for inspiration. So I'm tuned in to people, and I care about what they need and who they are.

The clothes that I design and everything I've done is about life and how people live and how they want to live and how they dream they'll live. That's what I do.
