I find beauty in melancholy.

You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.

The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today

Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.

There is no better designer than nature

People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.

I think there is beauty in everything. What 'normal' people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it.

If you're lucky enough to use something you see in a dream, it is purely original. It's not in the world - it's in your head. I think that is amazing.

There comes a time in your life when you focus solely on what you believe is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.

My original goal was just to do stand-up but then I became interested in films - writing a film, shooting one someday, and getting to act in them.

There is nothing people can throw at me to say: Do this, do that.

I have to force a smile off my face as I sit limply in my seat... Then, just as I'm congratulating myself for such a stellar plan.

What we're trying to do is get things fixed, not allow them to stay broke.
