A lot of my work is a matter of reacting to surprises in life.

Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing.

Take people's advice and guidance in the beginning, but always follow your instincts first

No one is going to understand your brand better than you.

Go with your instinct and your gut. It sounds cliché, but never give up and just keep on. If you really believe in it, you have to just dive in and go for it.

I tend to like the most basic pieces with the perfect fit and fabric, like a simple tank.

I really learn from something that really inspires me and it becomes something that I remember.

I always say that I'm really inspired by mistakes and things that kind of go wrong.

There's a tendency to think that young designers only do fantasy fashion, but I'm more interested in making clothes that women can afford.

The things that you can't really foresee and that kind of surprise you, and a lot of times they are bad, but other times, they bring something different and new to the table.

Any style that Nike makes in all black, shoe, sweatshirt, onesie, doesn't matter, I pretty much need to have.

An eminent American is reported to have said to friends who wished to put him forward 'Gentlemen let there be no mistake. I should make a good president but a very bad candidate.'

I like bad boys, and I like to take them home to my mom.

Redemption just means you just make a change in your life and you try to do right, versus what you were doing, which was wrong.

It takes a lot of punishment to be able to do anything to change the social order.

When I'm working behind a camera, I feel like I'm trying to achieve something like a jazz musician does.

But I'm still a work in progress. My mother calls me quite frequently with various critiques of my performance on TV and other public events. She's usually pretty severe with her comments.

Our joy does not have to be based on our circumstances.

Not to climb the high places lonely, but to climb there all together, to rise en masse! This is the way!

One definition of man is an intelligence served by organs.

The mind is a matter over every kind of fortune; itself acts in both ways, being the cause of its own happiness and misery.
