I am an Asian designer. I was born in Taiwan. That is who I am. But I am a designer, like any designer of any race. Growing up in the '80s in Taiwan, the arts were not considered a career.

We all want to be a little glamorous, a little playful and a little mischievous at times.

My inspirations come from everywhere. It's important to look at everything and anything.

I hope I am the antithesis of disposable fashion.

My cats are really sassy and sophisticated, but most importantly, they are picky.

Buy things you truly love, things that are special, but not a lot of them. It’s about value, not quantity.

I worked 10 years as a toy designer before I started my career as a fashion designer. It's something I just fell into and really liked.

I didn't understand anything about fashion until I moved to Canada when I was 9. That's when I learned English and was exposed to fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue.

I love the idea of working with women because I always feel like a man designing womenswear needs women around him to really have a sense of what they're doing.

Being feminine in the way you dress doesn't have to compromise who you are as a woman or your career.

Actually, I'm probably 99-and-a-half percent plastic now.

You won't find peace with another, until you become one person--not two.

Make good art. It doesn't matter what you do so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it.

There's no business like show business.

If you don't want an American flag flying at your school, why do you live in the USA?

I was daily intoxicated, yet no man could call me intemperate.

When everyone thinks alike, there isn't much thinking taking place. Get out when you can, not when you have to.

It is bad governments, not bad people, who cause revolutions.

In the end leaders are leaders. They get the credit and they get the blame.

I wanted to find out if we went to the NFL and really took care of guys, really cared about each and every individual, what would happen?

We must motivate ourselves to do our very best, and by our example lead others to do their best as well.
