I've been making shoes my whole life.

You have to be a little contrite to get redemption.

People are afraid because I'm candid. They're always worried I'm going to get into trouble.

There are a lot of people who get support from a thriving business.

I could design an $800 shoe line it's easy. You use the best materials and you can make beautiful shoes. It's easier than making great shoes for $90.

I'm a New York story.

Growing is an important part of the business, but more important than that is to get better.

I don't fret much about the natural life spans of shoe companies. If stores don't do the right things, they cease to exist, and that doesn't trouble me at all.

My strengths as a businessman lie in the design and sale of women's shoes, and I have never been comfortable with complicated or technical legal or business documents.

I am guilty of stupidity, arrogance, and greed.

So much of design is context.

Lord, I feel so small sometimes in this great big old world.Yeah, I know there are more important things.But don't forget to remember me.

Charlotte blanched. 'I'm only a maid, miss.''A maid is still a woman.

The future of the world will belong to whoever can harness energy and food.

Everybody comes from somewhere.

Every nation ridicules other nations, and all are right.

My iPhone stays on. All my friends and family know that I hate the phone, so no one calls me on it. I just use it to play Words With Friends and take pictures of cute shoes.

When everybody does better, EVERYBODY does better.

A satyagrahi has always his minimum and it is this minimum that is wanted in connection with this struggle.

Anything you need, you tell him and he'll get it for you. If he offends you in any way, let me know and I'll kill him when I get up.

God is the partner of your most intimate soliloquies
