Beauty is whatever anyone thinks is beautiful.

For something to be beautiful it doesn’t have to be pretty.

Fashion is something that you can attach to yourself, put on, and through that interaction, the meaning of it is born.

Creation takes things forward. Without anything new there is no progress. Creation equals new.

I make clothes for a woman who is not swayed by what her husband thinks.

My energy comes from freedom and a rebellious spirit.

The more people that are afraid when they see new creation, the happier I am.

Because the fundamental human problem is that people are afraid of change.

I don't feel too excited about fashion today People just want cheap fast clothes and are happy to look like everyone else

You can tell if it's a good collection if people are afraid of it. In ten years, everyone will love it.

For me, creation can only come out of a certain kind of unhappiness. They say in Japan, this thing like the hungry spirit - the hungry mind - is what gets you going forward.

I shall now express my utter disgust and anger with you through the piano.

New York: A third-rate Babylon.

I made my fair share of mistakes.

It used to be that nobody would really argue with a woman, because what she thought (unless it was by way of providing helpful comments about one's own work) just didn't matter.

I went into Harvard one way and came out a different person... It's the air at Harvard; it's like a Renaissance court.

Every individual matters and has a role to play in this life on Earth.

Never try to wear a hat that has more character than you do.

What incredible arrogance to believe that we limited human beings can destroy that which we cannot even begin to understand - much less create on our own - and that is earth and all of its glories.

Kids hate anyone who is different.

With me, it's clothing and makeup and hair and all that stuff that inform how the character moves and feels.
