I'm not a designer, I'm a creator.

I'm not an elitist. I hate the fashion industry sometimes because it becomes so focused on the elite.

I like places where you can dance to crazy music, like Bedlam or Eastern Bloc in the East Village.

Fashion is such an insider's club, but slowly, the playing field is evening out. Through social media, everyone can have a front-row seat.

Uniqlo as a company has always developed new fabrics and is always trying to be innovative. The design is simple, so the fabric is important.

Japan, for me, will always be my inspiration source.

The dark side of social media is that, within seconds, anything can be blown out of proportion and taken out of context. And it's very difficult not to get swept up in it all.

I am terrible at making food. I love eating, but I can't make anything.

Having plants and flowers in my space makes me feel very calm and Zen. For me, its important to meditate every morning to be very clear in the head, and nature really helps me do the same thing.

Fans don't lie. They just tell you what they really think, and they see details that even people in fashion don't.

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.

It's not how a photographer looks at the world that is important. It's their intimate relationship with it.

There is room neither for the poet nor for the contemplator in an egalitarian world.

The most accomplished literary work would be reduced to nothing by carping criticism, if the author would listen to all critics and allow every one to erase the passage which pleases him the least.

I've written and translated my own poems from English to German. It's basically a summation of my identity as it stands now.

If youd asked me after Band of Brothers what thing I wanted to do next, I certainly never would have imagined Southland.

Prayer is a weapon, a mighty weapon in a terrible conflict. Our prayers are to be a continual, conscious, earnest effort of battle, the battle against whatever is not God's will.

The moral sense, or conscience, is as much part of a man as his leg or arm. It is given to all in a stronger or weaker degree.. It may be strengthened by exercise.

The mad also laugh, or is that what Freud and the others discovered perhaps, that only the mad laugh?
