I'm only waiting for Lindsay Lohan's fashion collection to come out. Ten years from now, there may be no real designers left.

Success isn't about the end result; it's about what you learn along the way.

A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.

When I design a wedding dress with a bustle, it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great.

I was stigmatized by being a bridal designer for a long time. I am amazed I have been able to move beyond it. I had really all but given up trying, but I did it because it was my lifelong dream.

Don't be afraid to take time to learn. It's good to work for other people. I worked for others for 20 years. They paid me to learn.

I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.

Fashion offers no greater challenge than finding what works for night without looking like you are wearing a costume.

Even the most understated ceremony involves a certain respect for ritual and pageantry. No one plays more of a significant role than the bride's attendants.

When you have a passion for something then you tend not only to be better at it, but you work harder at it too.

Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.

A complaint is a chance to turn a customer into a lifelong friend. I say that seriously, not as some press release baloney.

Let me put it this way: I think Republicans tend to keep the ball in play, Democrats go for broke.

Teachers are the most important individuals in our society - nothing is as powerful as the human touch in education.

The content of your #‎ character is your #‎ choice.

The most valuable asset we have, actually, is our ability to understand, to do the right thing, to be kind, to be decent.

All men are created to lead, but we need somebody to lead us.

All intellectual missionaries tend to lechery.

Anything that makes your mother cry is fun

I'm tryna put out the right stuff and just do me and not pay attention to who's hating and who's loving me and make the music I love to make, and make it the best I can.

The future and where we're going can be very terrifying, in some ways, but it's also really inspirational.
