All my life I've felt like somebody's wife, or somebody's mother or somebody's daughter. Even all the time we were together, I never knew who I was. And that's why I had to go away. And in California, I think I found myself.

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.

It's interesting that there are places that words can't get to.

New York was big enough and wide enough that it allowed for reasonably eccentric people like me to thrive. It was a perfect place for me.

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

The thing I loved the most about being art director was picking the photographers and working with them.
