There are always different influences each season. It could be a person, it could be a piece of furniture; it depends on what I'm obsessing about.

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 the silence is the language of God, but so is music. This is why we dance, we become loud in our silence.

The Sun will rise and set regardless. What we choose to do with the light while it's here is up to us. Journey wisely.

I never think about the downs. Well, only when I get asked during interviews.

I like to write with a lot of emotion and a lot of power. Sometimes I overdo it; sometimes my prose is a little bit too purple, and I know that.

It's taken me years of practice to learn how to act natural.

I've been directing more and more the last few years, I find it an enjoyable challenge.

I don't care how talented a team is, unless you believe in one another, you're weak.

News, by and large, has been the purest of all the television mediums, or at least we've tried to keep it that way, and there constantly is the argument about the separation between church and state.

It's more than unsettling to realize there are large companies out there developing backdoors, exploits and trojans.

I should like to see any kind of man, distinguishable from a gorilla, that some good and even pretty woman could not shape a husband out of.
