Sometimes people have questioned whether I was making fun of the industry or just at myself. I'm just trying to raise a smile. Clothes aren't meant to be worshipped at a church altar.

I don't speak Italian, but I do speak Moschino.

When I first started my own brand, when I needed an icon, I had no other icon but myself. I had to create that.

I won't work with people who won't give me the freedom to be me.

The world has changed around me. I've been me, and continuously being me in a constant, steadfast way.

If you want me to shine, you need to give me the parole to do that.

I love what I do, and I only want more. I love the whole process. I love designing, I love figuring out how to make the clothes happen, I love the ad campaigns.

People think I'm being stupid or false humble. It's not. I don't think I always fit in. Maybe it's a complex you get as someone who has always been fighting on the outside.

I guess I always think of myself as more of the people. I always feel like a bit of an outsider.

I've always loved plastics and rubber, and it's such a specifically unique material that you have to have the manufacturing abilities to make it.

When I'm hell-bent on something, there's no way around it. I can be a very stubborn.

There is a certain strength in being alone.

I have not yet lost a feeling of wonder, and of delight, that the delicate motion should reside in all the things around us, revealing itself only to him who looks for it.

The only palliative is to keep the clean sea breeze of the centuries blowing through our minds, and this can be done only by reading old books.

Conversation means being able to disagree and still continue the discussion

I always try to be open to whatever the universe wants from me.

Statement: A girl and a boy jump into a river. The boy swims over to the girl and says, "God, it's cold." Question: What's the probability they will kiss?

Critics can be your most important friend. I don't read criticism of my stuff only because when it's bad, it's rough-and when it's good, it's not good enough.

I'm here to shine a bright light. I'm not here to be a guy of death. I just like 'KD' better.

I want to have young children although my mother and father are even now young sufficient to just take care of them.
