I have always had a relationship with clothes.

Just because you work in the fashion industry, it doesn't mean you live your life in fashion.

You can make jeans and a t-shirt super stylish. It's what you make of it, you know?

I love crazy, gaudy bling.

I don't have a life where it's galas, posh affairs. It's me, my dog and a sofa. And a TV.

I try to always have flowers in the house. I have a florist in Chinatown, and they deliver orchids every two weeks. I like living with living things.

I'm really a classicist at heart - with a bit of madness!

When people ask about inspirations, and you're like 'oh, it was a flower or a mountain or a pony', some people just think you're insane. I'm worried to come across that way.

One of the reasons I wanted to collaborate with Target is because I felt that together we could create a collection that would inspire - one that is cool and chic, but still very accessible.

There is a secret hippie within me.

When I say that I'm a businessperson and a dressmaker, it's the truth. I run a business, and I make dresses, I make blouses.

When you try hard to get something, but you gain nothing, this is what's called depression.

You take yourself to a place where you've got absolutely nothing left and then you find out you have to push yourself one more step. That's a tough place to be in.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

I don't need to put extra pressure on myself right now. The important thing is for me to stay healthy, in practice, and just keep on the hours. You just never know when it's going to happen for you.

Life passes, riches fly away, popularity is fickle, the senses decay, the world changes. One alone is true to us; One alone can be all things to us; One alone can supply our need.

The crocodile must want to be a crocodile for reasons of the crocodile

African art is functional, it serves a purpose. It's not a dormant. It's not a means to collect the largest cheering section. It should be healing, a source a joy. Spreading positive vibrations.

Art and life go together. I have to have a life filled with experiences to make art, and I have to have art around me to live well.

Become aware that you already possess all the inner wisdom, strength, and creativity needed to make your dreams come true.
