Taste has nothing to do with style.

Everybody thought New York was this hard, cruel place, and I found it to be an extraordinarily wonderful place filled with the most interesting people.

In America, people rarely stay in the town where they grew up, rarely stay in close proximity to their parents throughout their lives. You rarely find parents in their old age being taken care of by their children.

Style lasts forever and taste doesn't.

Style and taste do not have anything to do with the other. It's the difference between wit and humor.

I was dyslexic as a child and it took me years to get passed that. I read a lot but it was hard and that didn't go away until my early-to-mid-twenties. So really what I was looking at were the photographs and the illustrations in magazines.

Style is the most ephemeral thing I know. It's not about how effective you are it's about how you are effective.
