Well, my whole thing is that I'm kind of like a show-off!

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.

To me if you're going have a show, it should be a show. It should be entertaining and take you on a journey.

You are more ready and able to grasp at opportunity when your hands are empty.

People defend nothing more violently than the pretenses they live by.

I don't know whether I'm misanthropic. It seems to me I'm constantly disappointed. I'm very easily disappointed.

To say accounting for derivatives is Americais a sewer is an insult to sewage.

Our lives show the accumulation of all of our varied wishes. Wanting something with all your heart will begin to slough away all of your untrue and idle wishes. Success comes from an undivided heart.

Nobody wants to spend eternity alone.

[Eva Braun] was the one who was involved with [Adolf Hitler], who was close to him.

My parents were young and liberal and knew I was going to drink anyway, so they let me do it at home.

If you're not going to win there is no point in fighting.

A lot like yesterday, a lot like never.
