I never was interested in being part of the fashion world - I just wanted to design shoes. I didn't even know Vogue existed when I was growing up. Vogue, what is that?

The red sole was born from red nail polish. I am giving back to beauty what the shoes took from the nails many years ago.

To feel like a woman, wear heels, to feel like a goddess, wear five inches.

Strangely enough, I really think that shoes are a communication tool between people.

High heels empower women in a way.

The shiny red color of the soles has no function other than to identify to the public that they are mine. I selected the color because it is engaging, flirtatious, memorable, and the color of passion.

I like Adele, Mika, Natacha Atlas and a beautiful old record, 'An Evening with Belafonte/Mouskouri,' starring Harry Belafonte and Nana Mouskouri. What they have in common is they all have incredible voices. I am very much into voices. I would say I'm a fan of voices, not of sound. I'm a fan of singers, not of bands.

One thing I detest, I have to say, is when a shoe is too soft, and it's molding to the foot. This is quite disgusting. And I really, really hate incredibly long shoes, where the last is very pointy, almost like Aladdin.

Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth, they are not playing with the inner character. That is why women are happy to wear painful shoes.

Fashion isn't interesting when it comes from an uninspired place. It's like voodoo we don't want things that are soaked in blood, sweat, and tears. I adore life, and I'm very easygoing - and it shows in my work.

Everyone wears what they feel great in, or comfortable with.

I'll do shoes for the lady who lunches, but it would be, like, a really nasty lunch, talking about men.

I wouldn't take it as a compliment if someone looked at one of my shoes and said, 'Oh, that looks like a comfortable shoe.' There is a heel that is too high to walk in, certainly. But who cares? You don't have to walk in high heels.

I hate the whole concept of the clog! It's fake, it's ugly, and it's not even comfortable!

Really good shoes have to seduce both men and women.

In designing shoes for myself I'm not thinking of a specific person or catwalk. I'm just not thinking of clothes at all. I'm always thinking of a naked woman, actually.

I don't like conflicts. I'm not a competitive person at heart. To be in the middle of turmoil is boring.

I feel I am a role model to many, not just for my designs, but also for the fact that I started my own company with the help of my two friends. I became a success story, and people relate to that.

One moves more slowly in heels. Walking fast is neither sexy nor engaging. Nobody notices the people who race around. If you're walking in heels, you've got time. It's much more attractive.

I would say that a good shoe is exactly like a good wine. These shoes are going to stay and last for a long time.

My favorite sound is definitely mules. If it was an instrument, it's really pingthe touch of the black keys of the piano.
