People are afraid because I'm candid. They're always worried I'm going to get into trouble.

So much of design is context.

I've been making shoes my whole life.

I am guilty of stupidity, arrogance, and greed.

I could design an $800 shoe line it's easy. You use the best materials and you can make beautiful shoes. It's easier than making great shoes for $90.

There are a lot of people who get support from a thriving business.

You have to be a little contrite to get redemption.
