My son has followed fashion since he was a punk. He and I agree that fashion is about sex.

I really don't like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they're horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They'd better sort themselves out and become more womanly.

The sexiest people are thinkers.

A status symbol is a book. A very easy book to read is The Catcher in the Rye. Walk around with that under your arm, kids. That is status.

I like the Chinese proverb: If a horse is yours, it will always come back!

I don't think punk fashion is a specter or overemphasized - it made a big impression, as there had never been anything like it before.

When we started to do punk, we put all of these things together to create the look of an urban guerrilla - a rebel.
