I feel very strongly that clothes that fit well make a person feel better. It's maybe half the value of the merchandise.

We look our best in subdued colors, sophisticated cuts, and a general air of sleek understatement.

If I had the power, I would ban leggings.

I like femininity, not of the devout, but of the self-assured, cool and sophisticated kind.

I am convinced that there can be luxury in simplicity.

I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don't need so much decoration.

In the end, you can' t talk to everyone.

One glass of water doesn't equal another. One may just appease the thirst, the other you may enjoy thoroughly. In Japan, people know about this difference.

It may sound ambitious, but I really hope that modern design will spread all around the globe.

I sometimes feel that a pattern is almost a fashion statement in itself.

I feel that things happen for a reason and open up new opportunities.

I never lost a game. I just ran out of time.

Cunning grows in deceit at seeing itself discovered, and tries to deceive with truth itselft.

When I go out of the house for a walk, uncertain as yet whither I will bend my steps, [I] submit myself to my instinct to decide for me.

There is definitely a sense of pride to it - it's more precious when you cook something up from the beginning and you see it all the way to the end, and you get a little bit more of a say.

With my friends, I don't feel pressure to be someone other than who I am.

I fight because it allows me to face my fears head on, and conquer those fears one by one.

By being remarkable, being genuine, you can be worth connecting with. And you don't have to have it figured out perfectly the first time - you can adjust.

I prefer cozy and warm to stark and sterile. You don't have to spend a lot of money to give your place personality.

Just because people are in authority, if it doesn't seem right, don't do it. If it violates your own principles, don't do it.

The path is smooth that leadeth on to danger.
