For a while, I just thought that I wanted to be an illustrator because that's all I wanted to do. I also did some sculpting. It was always very artsy and very feminine, everything that I did.

I am an Asian designer. I was born in Taiwan. That is who I am. But I am a designer, like any designer of any race. Growing up in the '80s in Taiwan, the arts were not considered a career.

My mom used to take me to antique shows, which I hated because everything was so dusty and old and there were all these weird ladies selling their antiques. We call them eclectic now. But it was really amazing that I was exposed to that when I was younger. Now that I have my own taste, I understand it more.

I had a hard time in middle school. I was never really quite me until I was 16 or 17, and things like bullying didn't matter anymore.
Jason Wu
I don't know if I would want to come back as anything but me. I feel really satisfied. I don't really want to be anyone else. I just feel like I've gotten everything I signed up for as me. I'm happy as me.

I love the idea of working with women because I always feel like a man designing womenswear needs women around him to really have a sense of what they're doing.
Jason Wu
I need to feel like I'm part of something. I need to feel part of the world when I go to sleep.
Jason Wu
Buy things you truly love, things that are special, but not a lot of them. It’s about value, not quantity.

When I was 12 or 13 I already knew that I was gay. And then my interests were not conventional. So I was very different, in every sense of the word. And in an all-boys school, that's tough.
Jason Wu
I always have the TV on. When there's no TV, I play music. I like having noise. I think that's why New York is so suitable for me, because it's never really fully quiet.
Jason Wu
The polishedness and the sophistication were what I was interested in. I mean, give me a polka dot, a floral print, a pleated dress, a big fur coat, that was always my language, and it wasn't very in when I was starting out, so I had a difficult time in the beginning.
Jason Wu
I love the romance of Paris. I love Angelina [tearoom and pastry shop]. I always get a Mont-blanc [pastry] there.
Jason Wu
I didn't understand anything about fashion until I moved to Canada when I was 9. That's when I learned English and was exposed to fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue.
Jason Wu
The worst thing is to be a designer and create work that isn't honest. You have to be honest. Otherwise, you'll always be a reaction to what other people do and you'll always be one step behind.
Jason Wu
Designers have always shown outlandish and exuberant clothes, but that hasnt always translated to the streets.
Jason Wu
I hope I am the antithesis of disposable fashion.
Jason Wu
We all want to be a little glamorous, a little playful and a little mischievous at times.
Jason Wu
You're always in the mode of creating the next season. It's so fast, and in two months, the collection you just did is already old, and it's always next, next, next.

In designing for the first lady, I tried to sort of be in her shoes, but I didn't really look at her as an important political figure. I looked at her as a woman who would like to wear a beautiful dress to an important gala.
Jason Wu
Anyone who knows me knows that I don't know anything about politics. Every time I go to Washington, I feel like I'm in Legally Blonde.
Jason Wu
I love a little bit of glamour and I love tall girls.
