Everyday is one less day.

My career in fashion has been very much about sexuality and sex, and I think a lot of people think that's all I can do and what I am all about.

I probably do have an obsessive personality, but striving for perfection has served me well

There's a different kind of comfort that comes from knowing that you are putting your best foot forward. It's called psychological comfort. Look at a picture of the Coney Island boardwalk in 1925. Men were in full-on three-piece suits, hats. They may have only had one suit. But they pressed it. They made it look as good as possible.

I'm very direct. I don't have tantrums. I don't yell or shout. I do expect an awful lot from my staff, but no more than I expect of myself.

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

I don't work for money any longer. I work for pride.
