Everyday is one less day.
If I had been a dog walker, I would have been the most successful dog walker in Paris.
I think people who are attracted to the fashion industry are people who are really insecure and looking for a certain identity.
I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.
I think that the older you get, the more you become your true, essential self. You find the things that make you happy. You whittle away the parts of yourself that mean less to you.
When you write a character and their dialogue, you can’t help imagining how you would be acting if you were them. You kind of have to relate to all of them. It’s the most personal thing I’ve ever done.
On the one hand, I want to go off and live in the desert with my dog and sculpt things out of adobe.
It’s funny, our beauty standard has become harder and tougher because we live in a tough age. I don’t think anyone wants to walk down the street and feel vulnerable. You want to walk down the street and feel like you’re in control.
Perfection is almost an illness with me, but sometimes I have moments where everything is absolutely clear and you can feel, rather than think.

We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn’t we have a fashion designer as a senator?
I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don’t really need to have New Year’s resolutions.
Women are objectified in our culture. And more and more, it takes a great deal of confidence, especially as a woman, to break the mold. You know, you’re afraid that you’re going to covered in a magazine as a “fashion don’t.” That’s why you see all these girls on the red carpet looking the same.
In my early 40s I started to feel that I had neglected the spiritual side of my life. It had always been there, but I’d neglected it. In fashion, that’s really easy because we live in the future, and we can place too much importance on material things.
I thought I was fabulous and everyone else was stupid.
Both film and fashion are businesses where the audience doesn’t feel or see the work that goes on behind the scenes.
I want to make beautiful clothes for women and men who appreciate detail and quality. The product must be the best but this is almost secondary to the service the customer will receive.
When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.
It’s hard not to be sexy in a pair of high heels.
Fashion is everything. Art, music, furniture design, graphic design, hair, makeup, architecture, the way cars look – all those things go together to make a moment in time, and that’s what excites me.
