I love fashion, and I've always wanted to do costume design, but I'm in jeans and T-shirts most of the time.

I think denim is something everyone feels comfortable in. It's kind of my uniform, really.

I actually don't trust anyone who tells me they don't like New York.

I believe you have to make things happen.

I think it's too bad when teenagers become conformist in terms of fashion,because it's the ideal time to go off into your own crazy thing without looking completely idiotic.

I'm never anywhere for more than three weeks.

I used to spend hours at night, downstairs, in front of the only full-length mirror in the house, standing on the table working out what I would wear to school the next day.

There is no room for legal hair-splitting when it comes to the humane treatment of detainees - not in a nation founded on the rule of law and respect for human rights.

I try to write about how we live today, how we use language, technology, our bodies.

To run hard after holiness is another way of running hard after God.

I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion.

Generally speaking, color directly influences the soul.
