I've never said I'm a fashion designer.

You can be too rich and too thin, but you can never be too well read or too curious about the world.

We shop out of boredom, for release, for excitement, for a sense of achievement, for a sense of control over our unruly existences. And every so often, we shop because we need something to wear.

I always say I have a Socratic approach to most things that I do. I pummel people with questions, because I need to know what they're thinking, what they're trying to achieve, what they believe the final outcome is going to be.

I'm so lucky. I've met a lot of famous people.

At all costs, avoid clothes that are too big. The more volume your clothes have, the more volume you appear to have.

I'm doing all that I can to prod the industry and get them to pay more attention [to larger women and petite women]. Because I find it to be reprehensible and repugnant that two populations that are so pervasive in this nation should be so badly neglected.
