When I was a kid, I thought I was going to be an actor.

I'm actually very introverted. I'm very shy. I'm very emotional.

September 11th was a moment when America had the sympathy of the world.

I don't believe that clothes can start a revolution, but I do believe that fashion is often a manifestation of a sociological or political climate.

I'm very aware that when my friends and I sit around over dinner these days, the conversation invariably turns to how crass the world has become. Tweeting? It's one of the silliest things ever.

Part of fashion is newness. It's got to be a new combination of elements that's shocking-stunning-beautiful all at the same time. But it doesn't have any emotion.

Never, ever, ever wear anything you are uncomfortable in. Because that is what you'll project: 'I look like a fool.'
