It's better to look important than sexy.

I'm not trying to do something different, I'm trying to do the same thing but in a different way

At one time, I was very angry. I even treated fashion like a kind of crusade: you were either with us or against us, that kind of feeling. Now I know we need ideas, not kicking down a door.

I'm not sure what I think about current fashion, though. A few years ago, I would have said it's really, really bad and you hardly ever see anybody looking good. There must be some very good designers in the world.

I do not approve of museums trying just to get people to come in. Whistler was very, very clear on this.

I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.

I do have reasons for what I do. I am a very political person, and I really think if you put these clothes on, you will look like a force to be reckoned with.
