Style is very personal. It has nothing to do with fashion. Fashion is over quickly. Style is forever.

I think the people who work with me are people who love style themselves. I'm leaving the office and they're still working. They're passionate.

I always had a sense of people and would talk with them. I talk to my doorman. I talk to everybody I work with. I enjoy it. I like being part of a real life. I love dreams. I love glamour. I love being invited to great places. But I don't really care if I go, as long as I'm invited. I get invited to so many things, but I'd rather go have a hamburger or see a movie.

I never said to myself, "I'm going to be the greatest." I just wanted to do my own thing.

What's interesting about fashion is it's a world, and I think that's what I've done - I've made a contribution and I think I've built a world. The world is beyond just clothes. Taste and style is beyond clothes. It's in food; it's in quality.

I believe one can live many lives through personal style. Every day is an occasion to reinvent yourself

I don't think I'm the gift of the world - I just do what I do, and I love it and I've been lucky.
