I started styling people when I was just eight years old, without even knowing what a stylist was.

Just throw me in my coffin now with these earrings on.

I believe fantasy and dreaming can be made a reality. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be a VIP.

I did not have a van, or wear Birkenstocks and tie-dyes.

Here's my rule about shoes, buy them.

It's better to have fewer things of quality than too much expendable junk.

Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.

I would wear a turban to Whole Foods.

Sexiness should not be overt. Something shapeless that drapes across your hip, hangs off the shoulder; something that cowls in the front, drapes low in the back, that's sexy.

I think that sexiness should be in the subtleties.

Accessories are everything. To me, they're more important than the clothes.

The American mirror, said the voice, the sad American mirror of wealth and poverty and constant useless metamorphosis, the mirror that sails and whose sails are pain.

Marriages are for the grownup people. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am not yet the one!

Residual emotions always show up from time to time in our daily lives until we completely offload them.

Painting is self-discovery. You arrive at the image through the act of painting.

I think the music of the Fifties is really good. I suspect it's much better musically than much of what's available now. Not in terms of production, but in terms of content.

Success is when you try to achieve your inward vision externally and have it come off the way you see it. Then YOU feel successful about it; that's how success is measured.

You either make dust or eat dust.

One promises much, to avoid giving little.

If you change the belief first, changing the action is easier.

I'm capable of looking on the bright side. I just don't do it very often.
