I have a couple of thousand books in my personal library. Choosing a favorite is next to impossible. But I do love the written word.

On my first day teaching my own classroom, I threw up before I entered the building.

Being a student in an art & design school, that was the moment for me, that was when I began to develop a lot of self-confidence and really come into my own.

Does a man need to know what a peplum is? Probably not.

I really believe things happen for a reason, and sometimes that reason isn't revealed until much much, much, much later.

A couple of things for the not-so-diminutive man: avoid any prints that are large scale, because you will look like the print is wearing you, as opposed to you wearing the print.

People believe that if you're concerned about the clothes you're wearing and the larger aspects of your appearance, that it's anti-intellectual. I say "Hogwash!" The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.
