Holding a note is a very difficult thing - you have to use your whole body to achieve a perfect pitch.

I spend a lot of time upside down. It increases the blood flow to the brain, so it really helps your creativity.

We need better things, not more. We should not pollute the world with meaningless, unused things when we can make and support things of rare and precious beauty.

I don't approach fashion; fashion approaches me!

Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you carry on.

You don't ask a juggler which ball is highest in priority. Success is to do it all.

Race and class are the easiest divisions. It's very stupid
