This is something I realized after stepping away from women's fashion for the last five years. When you are inside, it is such a tiny group of people who think that this is the most important thing in the world. But when you get a little bit of distance, someone will say to you something like, "Don't you think that shoe is blah?" And I will be like, "What shoe? I don't know what you're talking about." It is very, very inside.

Anyone with a long-term partner, anyone with a long-term lover, if that lover dies, you could easily see yourself in a situation where you couldn't see your future and you would be living entirely in the past. It's about that loss.

On the one hand, I want to go off and live in the desert with my dog and sculpt things out of adobe.

Artists, like yourself, are born with a need to express that's just innate.

Banking types should take their cue from Gordon Gekko. Or pick the best-looking banker in their firm and copy him.

I went to a fashion show, and this silver-haired guy was staring at me with these piercing water-blue eyes. It scared me because I absolutely saw and knew my entire future.

It's hard not to be sexy in a pair of high heels.
