I think people who are attracted to the fashion industry are people who are really insecure and looking for a certain identity.

Fashion is everything. Art, music, furniture design, graphic design, hair, makeup, architecture, the way cars look - all those things go together to make a moment in time, and that's what excites me.

I suppose, yes, I've been guilty of provocation but it's also just common sense marketing - put a bottle of scent in a woman's cleavage, or between her thighs - and men will notice.

Tweeting? It's one of the silliest things ever.

I am not a person who is about reality. I am about enhanced reality.

London is one of the few cities where people still dress properly and fashion exists. Every day I see women who've thought about their outfits. They've picked out the bag, put on proper shoes. ... Do you know how rare it is in parts of America to actually see 'an outfit'? France? I don't want to be anti-French but there isn't a more unattractive group of people on the streets.

Both film and fashion are businesses where the audience doesn't feel or see the work that goes on behind the scenes.
