I can't become naked for everybody. It's never going to be possible for the person to write the whole story completely, so I find bits of myself, bits of what I think in some articles. And I don't give lip service to journalists. I never make them feel comfortable. I say, "It's your job to make the story."

What's good about many people liking the work is that when I want to collaborate or am interested in the synergy of artists working together, nobody ever says no to me when I ask to work with them.

For me, I haven't succeeded in any way whatsoever.

The freedom I give myself for the business is in deciding to take part in the Paris collections, but also having other retail strategies that are unlike anybody else's. Not necessarily going into malls, doing the business my own way - having different brands to cover different concepts, to be able to have the cash flow to carry on.

Fashion is not art. The aims of fashion and art are different and there is no need to compare them.

Celebrity doesn't really affect the work. What affects the work is the expectations from the outside. This is what no one understands.

Feeling free inside oneself is being free.
