I'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?

My clothes have a story. They have an identity. They have a character and a purpose. That's why they become classics. Because they keep on telling a story. They are still telling it.

You have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes.

The fight is no longer between the classes or between rich and poor but between the idiots and the eco-conscious.

Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.

Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.

It is extremely difficult to say how long the process actually took to finally achieve my fragrance, Boudoir, because there was a lot of time waiting around for other people.

I'm not trying to do something different, I'm trying to do the same thing but in a different way

I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish.

Buy less, choose well: that's the maxim. Quality not quantity. That's the most environmentally friendly thing you can do.

The sexiest people are thinkers. Nobody's interested in somebody who's just vain with a hole in their head, talking about the latest thing - there is no latest thing. It's all rubbish.

The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time.

Republican leadership in Congress let the energy companies write the energy bill that sent prices soaring, and has turned a blind eye to the struggles of working families trying to make ends meet.

Power and speed aren't enough to overcome someone who is strategic, who knows what you'll do before you do it and can turn it on you; someone who is mentally engaged and combines the whole package.

If kids can learn how to make a simple Bolognese sauce, they will never go hungry. It's pretty easy to cook pasta, but a good sauce is way more useful.

Those who never have time do least

I definitely know that love is the most powerful thing of all.

Today it is fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately, it is not fashionable to talk with them.

I was once thrown out of a mental hospital for depressing the other patients.

You must cease from looking at human mistakes and look at successes; cease from seeing faults and see virtues.

Just to pile up money for my own sake, I just can't view that as good citizenship.
