How much of fashion is fueled by insecurity - for better or worse?

I like some of the oversized silhouettes. It's a nice change and exudes ease. Also like the upmarket street wear. It's fashion that reaches people where they live but looks polished.

I am a thorn in the side of designers.

Clothes are incredibly symbolic.

I hate yoga pants anywhere but the gym.

Sometimes those who bloom too early fade fast. Michael Kors struggled for years - and endured bankruptcy - before he became all rich and famous and fabulous.

Because what the fashion industry loves, it woos - then swallows whole.

Avoiding the appearance of queenly behavior is politically wise. But it does American culture no favors if a first lady tries so hard to be average that she winds up looking common.

I'm not a vintage/thrift shop girl. I don't have the patience.

I get enough fashion news in my professional life. I like interiors during my downtime.

You can leave your place you are sitting at without leaving that place either by playing music or by listening to music! Music is a migration to the unknown!

Our shortcomings drive us, motivate us – to work harder or realize another purpose/talent.

Throughout the history of our young nation, we have seen our military go bravely into battle, armed with courage and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

People do evil simply because they do not know.

What surprises me about getting older is that I remain so young.

When you consider what a chance women have to poison their husbands, it's a wonder there isn't more of it done

Franchement, quand je survole certains pays européens (les éoliennes) ne donne pas envie. (Frankly, when I fly over some European countries, their turbines don't fill me with envy.)

I thought it would be nice to marry Virgil [Thomson] to have a musical background, but I never got far with the project.

Keep your working power at its maximum.
