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.

I'm a New York story.

I've been making shoes my whole life.

I don't fret much about the natural life spans of shoe companies. If stores don't do the right things, they cease to exist, and that doesn't trouble me at all.

You have to be a little contrite to get redemption.

I am guilty of stupidity, arrogance, and greed.
