The world is always full of promise.

Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There’s no how-to road map to style. It’s about self-expression and, above all, attitude.

I say, dress to please yourself. Listen to your inner muse and take a chance. Wear something that says 'Here I am!' today.

When you don't dress like everybody else, you don't have to think like everybody else.

You're not pretty, and you'll never be pretty. But, it doesn't matter. You have something much better. You have style.

I don't have any rules, because I would only be breaking them, so it's a waste of time

More is more and less is a bore.

You have to be interested. If you're not interested, you can't be interesting.

I was never hurt by what anybody said about my clothes, because I dress to please myself. If somebody doesn’t like what I’m wearing, it’s their problem, not mine

You only have one trip. You might as well enjoy it.

You have to look in the mirror and see yourself. If it feels good, then I know it's for me. I don't dress to be stared at, I dress for myself.

Waiters are the help, dear. It's like falling in love with a blender!

Nightingales sang about her wherever she went.

I would have to confess that in the land of the toubabu, I had managed to save only myself.

She stopped then and turned her face toward him and the hateful wind.

I drank to drown my sorrows, but the damned things learned how to swim.

I know that John Adams has had a very hard time directing French ensembles.

Craft is not a category; it's a means. The folks running the museum [Museum of Arts and Design]are sharp, and they know this, but they are in a bind.

I deserve to have boundaries, and my boundaries are respected. I love and honor myself. I am safe. All is well.

The difference between one man and another is not mere ability... it is energy.
