I have always loved things that are timeless and get better with age.

Breast cancer is not just a woman's issue - it affects all of us: the brothers, husbands, fathers, children and friends.

Fashion is transient, trends come and go. I believe in style, not fashion.

We all get report cards in many different ways, but the real excitement of what you're doing is in the doing of it. It's not what you're gonna get in the end - it's not the final curtain - it's really in the doing it, and loving what you're doing.

I'm designing what I want. If it's a man's coat with a pair of skinny-leg jeans, I'll do that. It's whatever my mood is. But it's about style, and it's about an understated taste that's cool.

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.

When I create a collection, I approach it with a cinematic point of view-I am not designing clothes, I'm creating a world.
