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.

Don't give up! You're too talented. You're too good!

I learned quickly that if the student’s perception is that you’re not listening to them, and not understanding them, they discredit you.

But if fashion were easy, wouldn't everybody look great ?

I understand the all black or all white look (to be perfectly blunt, it's easy and you don't have to think about it very much) but would any of us really want to be one of those people?

We all had to search for more words to describe things.

I would certainly rather the industry not go broke, but if that's what it takes for everyone to acquire some values and lose that sense of entitlement, maybe a little belt-tightening wouldn't be so tragic.
