I'm not a typical couturier, although I really respect them.

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.

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

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.

Prospect is often better than possession.

When you're in touch with spirit, you put feeling over results.

I work a lot, and not just in Las Vegas.

All the musicians that I know want to act.

No one feels strong when she examines her own weakness. But in facing weakness, you learn how much there is in you, and you find real strength.

My dream, maybe because of my family, of course, was to be a painter. I chose in one moment the direction of textiles; from textiles I went to fashion.

Big budgets don't necessarily give you big films.

I'll tell you what I probably would prefer to happen less and less: actors that I know and respect in shampoo ads. Or modeling.

The greatest tragedy of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is that everyone knows how it will end. We will divide up the region.
