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

One of my favorite teams of all time is Fran and Barry. I just thought Fran and Barry last season were just incredible and they just sort of went against all odds and were very successful.

When I read about young designers selling 51 percent of their company to someone else, I cringe. I want to say, 'Don't do it - call me first.'

I'm extremely organized. The more things I have to work on and can bounce back and forth between, the more energized I am.

I enjoy the speed of fashion. I love doing different things and I think I still have something valid to say in fashion.

If I'm having a bad day I put on the very best thing I have. I polish my shoes, I shine everything up, because that helps me get though the day. It helps me, you know, it's in a sense armor. It says, okay, I'm a mess inside but you know what, on the outside I'm going to be pulled together, everything is okay.

We live in a material world. I'm not saying that beautiful things don't enhance our lives. But, in our culture, we're never happy.
