I'm not a vintage/thrift shop girl. I don't have the patience.

I like some of the oversized silhouettes. It's a nice change and exudes ease. Also like the upmarket street wear. It's fashion that reaches people where they live but looks polished.

I am a thorn in the side of designers.

Clothes are incredibly symbolic.

I hate yoga pants anywhere but the gym.

Sometimes those who bloom too early fade fast. Michael Kors struggled for years - and endured bankruptcy - before he became all rich and famous and fabulous.

Because what the fashion industry loves, it woos - then swallows whole.

How much of fashion is fueled by insecurity - for better or worse?

Avoiding the appearance of queenly behavior is politically wise. But it does American culture no favors if a first lady tries so hard to be average that she winds up looking common.

I get enough fashion news in my professional life. I like interiors during my downtime.

I'd been at the mercy of a prick on a power trip, the kind of buttoned-up bantam rooster who gets off on control and then, when you resist him, tells you that you've got issues with control.

The silence isn't so bad, till I look at my hands and feel sad. Because the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.

Boston is a moral and intellectual nursery always busy applying first principles to trifles.

Some people's money is merited and other people's is inherited.

Our horizon is the creation of a noble society to which, like the medieval builder of those glorious cathedrals, you will have added your conception, your artful piece of stone.

When we really start to take a look at who we think we are, we become very grace prone.

Light means nothing to a blind man.

I think I can lead a pretty anonymous life, yeah.

The language of religion holds the most currency for the masses.

Love among the ruins... I'll tell you something, my friend: Weird love's better than no love at all.
