I try not to have regrets and to learn from every experience.

I've never tried to do couture, because it's a whole different beast.

I like to spend time with my family - that's the most important thing in my life.

Good sportsmanship means treating others with respect. I consider myself a pretty good sport.

Consumers around the world always want something unexpected and exciting, and that's what drives me. I love the challenge of reinterpreting my designs in new ways each season to keep the "prep look" modern and fresh.

I had eight brothers and sisters. Every Christmas my younger brother Bobby would wake up extra early and open everybody's presents - everybody's - so by the time the rest of us got up, all the gifts were shredded, ribbons off, torn open and thrown aside.

Our look and image never change dramatically from one season to the next, so we need an edge.
