The idea of losing someone that you love could throw you into a situation where you could not see your future and you really would be living in the past.

You have to look inside yourself and you have to say, well, what am I about? Why does anyone need this? Why does anyone need a 'Tom Ford' jacket? What do I believe in?

I told myself that I would not come back to women's fashion until I felt I had something new to say. I feel that fashion has become too serious and that the actual customer's needs have not really been addressed. Fashion needs to make one happy. It is a luxury and should enhance one's quality of life.

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.

The dynamics of film directing and fashion design - in the ways that I've done it - were not dissimilar.

Glamour is something more than what you put on your body. It has to do with the way you carry yourself and the impact you have on others.

Your name is a funny thing. It stands for what you're about, and everything I do is really about pride.
