There are so many empty headed people in the fashion business who take themselves way too seriously and I don't think I am at all like one of them. To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!

I think fashion today is horrible. Just open your eyes and look! What's good about it? There's no originality. Here and there, there is, but in general, en masse, there's very little creativity and very little originality. It's kind of boring. Everybody looks alike. Everybody seems to strive to look alike.

I don't pay attention to things like the talent for style. I don't meditate on things like that. I just do whatever I think I should do and go with it, and if people like it, then I'm very happy about it. And if not, I always figure it's their problem not mine.

When you go to a nice restaurant, you want to be relaxed and have a drink and everything, you want to look at people who look well. You don't want to look at some slob with an open shirt and a hairy chest. At least I don't.

I was in art school since I was five years old. I've always been to art school.

Style means you have a real curiosity about yourself and then you express it. Having style is not copying somebody else.

I'm delighted that gay people now want to get married and I say why not! It's nobody's business and I would happily give my blessing.

You're not pretty, and you'll never be pretty. But, it doesn't matter. You have something much better. You have style.
