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.

The key to longevity is to keep doing what you do better than anyone else. We work real hard at that. It's about getting your message out to the consumer. It's about getting their trust, but also getting them excited, again and again. My clothes.. the clothes we make for the runway.. aren't concepts. They go into stores. Our stores. Thankfully, we have lots of them.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
