I'm inspired by many things, from landscapes to textiles. Art and architecture always influence my design process.

I don't listen to music when designing. We create in silence. I go through a torturous process because everything has to be precise and right.

I wanted to be involved with fashion, though I didn't know what being a designer meant.

My resolution is to make positivity, thankfulness and happiness my new mantra.

I hope the average woman feels she needs practicality but with a little bit of fantasy. Otherwise it's just not fashion.

Each season I strive to design a forward-thinking and effortless collection with a very clean minimalist aesthetic.

When a sketch comes into this three-dimensional form and everybody contributes, it's really fantastic.

I came to New York in 1986. My father didn't think it was a good idea. I didn't know how I found it, but I went to Hunter College. I had no money and I couldn't speak English.

Brazil is not what you see but what you feel. Once you spend time here - a week, two weeks - you get in the vibe. It's really intoxicating.

I don't love reading so much, but I love book shopping. It's just because I don't have much time.

Being sexy is not about what's on show, it's all about suggestion, or insinuation. I'm interested in the way a garment hangs on a woman's body and the way it moves when she moves.

People who have created their success through hard work and the support of others are always looking for ways to help those around them. Don’t be afraid to reach out.

People forget the good that zoos do. If it weren't for zoos, we would have so many species that would be extinct today.

Citizens, it is time to take our country back from the political class, from the media, from the liberal elite.

You are not an agnostic.....You are just a fat slob who is too lazy to go to Mass.

When stuck, hit the road.

People need help to change the way they eat... this is what government is for in my opinion.... We should make food an issue for everyone who runs for office.

Mature means neither "too soon" nor "too late," but something between the two.

I've been in contact with music since I was four or five years old through my father, because of the interest he had in music and all his musical skills. I finally managed to make that my profession.

I've never had any health problems and I'm Ruben, man, all the way through.

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?
