The world might be a very scary place if it were only run by Virgos.

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.

Most everyone now personally knows someone who is openly homosexual.

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

When I was young, I wanted to be a movie star. But I realized that you have no control being an actor. So I went to architecture school in NYC, because I was crazy about buildings. Then I began to realize that I got more excited about Vogue coming out each month than I was about my projects.

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.

If I'm having a bad day I put on the very best thing I have. I polish my shoes, I shine everything up, because that helps me get though the day. It helps me, you know, it's in a sense armor. It says, okay, I'm a mess inside but you know what, on the outside I'm going to be pulled together, everything is okay.
