I think about that all of the time and I have this fantasy that I am going to work at a museum someday! I would love to do something like that!

Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection.

To me, fashion is like a mirror. It's a reflection of the times. And if it doesn't reflect the times, it's not fashion. Because people aren't gonna be wearing it.

What people look to me for is a whole look. People come to me for icing on the cake, not a basic stretch pant.

The sexiest thing about a bikini is that it leaves something to the imagination, which is the best part.

I think that fashion has become such a big business and with globalization we are on new territory at this point. We are not just designing for a country we are designing for a world now.

I think I'm a global citizen. My parents came from China, were educated in France and emigrated to the United States. And I think that opened up my mind to be able to live and work anywhere.

You have to focus on your dreams, even if they go beyond common sense.

I think you have to be in the right place at the right time. And understand that and know when it is your time and how you react to it and how you respond to it.

I’m always about optimism and exuberance. It’s what I feel about fashion.

To me if you're going have a show, it should be a show. It should be entertaining and take you on a journey.

they say life goes on long after the thrill of living

Growing up seemed to mean that the only kind of pretending that was still safe was pretending we could do without it.

A perfect poem is impossible. Once it has been written the world would end.

Every relationship has its complications.

What my work is, is my approach to it. It's the practice. And my work is about the effort that I make to get there. And I think if there's anything artistic, it's in that middle space.

Success breeds the excitement to continue going.

But that was in the days when they expected perils to come from without, and nothing made less sense by that time than a survival room buried in a house itself becoming one big coffin.

If people mean that man has in himself the power to work in partnership with God's grace they are most wretchedly deluding themselves.

To enjoy - to love a thing for its own sake and for no other reason.

Never wish the death of someone or you will lose your goodness inside you!
