In my adult life I've understood that if I put an enormous amount of love and honesty into something, usually that shows in the end.

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.

We are living in a material world, so why not live with something beautiful?

If it's not fun, I'm not going to do it.

I think that monogamy is artificial. I do not think it's something that comes naturally to us.

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 am a spiritual person in an eastern religion kind of way. I learned that happiness for all of us is a switch that you flick in your brain. It doesn't have anything to do with getting a new house, a new car, a new girlfriend, or a new pair of shoes. Our culture is very much about that; we are never happy with what we have today.
