Beauty is whatever anyone thinks is beautiful.

There are no limits - I endeavor to make clothes that didn't exist before.

It was also never wanting to be part of any group or movement or anything that was the done thing. I hated organization. When you have a group, you have a leader who is going to put down the rest of the group.

It would have more meaning for me to hear what critics have to say if their values and their ways of living were deeper and more serious.

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."

I make clothes for a woman who is not swayed by what her husband thinks.

The very, very first thing that I wanted was to make a living - be independent and have a job. It might have come later, that kind of reaction to the boringness of fashion.
