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

I like to just have fun and be silly and say pretty much whatever comes into my mind, do pretty much whatever I want.

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.

At home, off-duty, I wear T-shirts from Fruit of the Loom - but I have them tailored.

Only hire people you want to have dinner with.

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.

If I'm sending emails, and I get all wound up and stressed and don't know what to do with myself for 20 minutes, I just go soak in hot water and lie there, thinking, 'What should I do?' So it's meditative.
