I think some journalists and bloggers want their articles to be clever, and the way into that is by writing nasty things. I think our culture likes to be mean. I don't just find this in fashion - I find it in the news. More and more, it is about ripping people apart.

I told myself that I would not come back to women's fashion until I felt I had something new to say. I feel that fashion has become too serious and that the actual customer's needs have not really been addressed. Fashion needs to make one happy. It is a luxury and should enhance one's quality of life.

If you don't need to quit drinking, you shouldn't quit drinking. I used to really love to drink, and especially living in London, it's just built for drinking.

You have to love what you do to the point that you can't imagine doing anything else with your life.

If it's not fun, I'm not going to do it.

The dynamics of film directing and fashion design - in the ways that I've done it - were not dissimilar.

If you are creative, sometimes you give up a lot of things that other people have.
