I was always interested in making clothing that is worn by people in the real world.

Beauty is like a sunset: it goes as soon as you try to capture it. The beauty you like is precisely that which escapes you.

The purpose - where I start - is the idea of use. It is not recycling, it's reuse.

By the way, Marilyn Monroe was a size 14.

A great thing happening now in art is that artists are using the figure, the body, clothing, life.

Design is not for philosophy it's for life.

Even when I work with computers, with high technology, I always try to put in the touch of the hand.

I did not want to be labelled the designer who survived the atomic bomb, and therefore I have always avoided questions about Hiroshima.

I started to work with cotton fabrics. I used cotton because it's easy to work with, to wash, to take care of, to wear if it's warm or cold. It's great. That was the start.

Work for money, design for love.

Entertain, but also, give the viewer something to think about.

Jewellery is a great way to take your look from day to night.

[Mitt] Romney didn't get beyond the numbers. He couldn't get 50 percent. Romney didn't - Romney got killed by the under-$50,000-a-year income voter. He just got killed in that.

There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.

I constantly remind people that crime isn't solved by technology; it's solved by people.

I really don't have tremendous political ambition. I have policy ambition.

Little would be wanting to the happiness of life, if every man could conform to the right as soon as he was shown it.

My father was a proctologist and my mother was an abstract artist, so that's how I view the world.

It is dreadful how I miss you, and everything that everybody says seems flat and stupid.
