More quotes by Donna Karan

Donna Karan
Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul.
Donna Karan
I must say that the more you give, the more you get. Being able to find solutions, to help other people is extremely gratifying.
Donna Karan
I also miss the support that I had of so many people. You know I'm a very Ma and Pa operation right now, and I was used to having everything working for me. It was a similar situation when I left Anne Klein and started Donna Karan. All of a sudden I was working in my apartment and it was, Oh my god, what am I doing?

I look in my closet, and if I need it, I design it.
Donna Karan
Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable.
Donna Karan
You don't have that much choice in your life, which is one of the big lessons I've learned. I was going to be a designer whether I wanted to be a designer or not. So there I was.
Donna Karan
I'm very involved in my business and with my family and my friends. I don't play the social world very much, and not to promote my product. I do it for the philanthropic problems because there I feel that I'm making a difference, and that I'm helping. So I do it in a soulful way.
Donna Karan
My spiritual connection is about embracing everything around me. We're all the same. There are no boundaries . . .
Donna Karan
I'd rather promote New York than anything else in this world because New York to me means the world.
Donna Karan
I couldn't stand the fact that anybody else was dressing like me. It was supposed to be for me and my friends, not my daughter and her friends!
Donna Karan
I do remember how sexy my collection was after I first got involved with Stephan [Weiss]. That's one thing I don't have in my life now and...if anything, that's one thing I would love.
Donna Karan
