I am great at delegating when someone is doing great work. The problem - and this sounds terrible - is that there are very few people who are strong enough for you to be able to delegate to.

I think some journalists and bloggers want their articles to be clever, and the way into that is by writing nasty things. I think our culture likes to be mean. I don't just find this in fashion - I find it in the news. More and more, it is about ripping people apart.

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

When I was a little kid, all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much, I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses.

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 enjoy the speed of fashion. I love doing different things and I think I still have something valid to say in fashion.

A film should be somewhat personal. I think that whatever you create you have to be true to yourself and create something that feels right to you.
