You always learn from your mistakes.

After you've done it for so many years, you have to find a new direction. You have to find something in your soul that's going to push you towards - to find your inspiration.

Technically, the last number of years, partially from the injury, it's been difficult to push forward but I felt even before the injury that I still could do more and was sort of at a stalemate.

It takes a lot of patience and a lot of time to create something worthwhile.

I would have to agree, that I'm probably more intense than Brian or Kurt, competitive because, I was always like this, always being that way, always real competitive.

I left this conversation hours ago, but somehow my mouth is still moving, words are still forming, and none have seemed to offend. Amazing, the mind. My mind, I mean. Not hers.

They fail and they alone who have not striven.

Self-knowledge is the beginning of self-improvement.

A house should be a synthesis of comfort, practicality, and tradition.

About Thatcher's death: Let's privatise her funeral. Put it out on competetive tender and accept the cheapest bid. That's what she would have wanted.

It's nice to have someone write a couture character for you.

Well, I had a record deal since I was 18, and it got me where I am.
