I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, 'This is the way they should dress; this is the way their homes should look; this is the way the world should be.' But then, that's the goal: world domination through style.

I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.

You always notice a facelift on a woman. It's a tightness around the ears, and the scar is usually inside the ears. If I suspect it's been done, I usually move around until I can see it. But with a man, it actually pulls your beard and your sideburns back, and that's what's so strange.

I worry constantly and obsess over things, but I just don't let fear stand in the way of doing something that I really want to do.

Fashion is ruthless the way every three months you have to think about everything all over again.

You can't fake anything. If you're honest and true and you love something, and you put that energy into it, people can usually feel it on the other side.

Dressing well is an expression of manners.
