I love when people wear flowers in their own way, like when I see someone wearing a floral dress with brogues and a jacket. It's incongruous.

I don't know if I've ever had a muse per se. I would say that the woman I'm inspired by exists more in my sketchbooks. She exists in my head.

The biggest compliment to me is being able to dress so many different women from so many different backgrounds.

My first introduction to fashion probably came through television: I was obsessed with Elsa Klensch, who used to cover fashion for CNN.

Before my sister, Sara, and I went to bed at night, my mom would show us books on Manet and other artists. Even then I was always really interested in how the women looked in the images.

When I was a little boy, I was fascinated with how women looked and carried themselves.

The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live-moreover, the only one.

Time is money. Wasted time means wasted money means trouble.

He who must travel happily must travel light.

Sunglasses are great, but I always feel a bit pretentious wearing sunglasses. I mean, I do love to wear them.

If I'm going to be in the right relationship with God, I should treat the things he has made in the same way he treats them.

I liked the American folk style of Woody Guthrie.

I've never met a woman who thinks they've got a good enough figure - however perfect they look - which is sad, because no one else can see these perceived flaws; they're entirely internal

I had the naive, simplistic idea that producers and writers and artists of the time helped in a minuscule way to change the mind-set of America.

I was in handcuffs. I was under arrest. I remember there was this old lady looking at me, and I could tell she felt real sorry for me, and she did'nt know but all I wanted to do was take her purse.

We are more naive than those of the Middle Ages, and more frightened, for we can be made to believe almost anything.
