Style is very different from fashion. Once you find something that works, keep it.

I just want to make beautiful, glamorous clothes.

There's nothing wrong with ankles. But only if you're playing football in the park.

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?

Right now everything is pumped up. Cars look like someone took an air pump and pumped them up. They look engorged. Lips pumped up, breasts pumped up, everything is pumped up. And it's also kind of off-putting. It's sexual but in such a hard way that it's, for me, not sexual at all. Whereas the 1970s, breasts were smaller. People were not wearing bras. Farrah Fawcett's sexuality and sensuality was a very touchable sexuality. She was kissable. She was friendly.

The seventies is what I love. Soft, touchable beauty is what I love.

The U.S. used to be perceived as the moral leader of the world, and we have absolutely lost that.
