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.

More quotes by 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.
Jason Wu
Buy things you truly love, things that are special, but not a lot of them. It’s about value, not quantity.
Jason Wu
My parents loved me, and I think they realized that I was probably not going to have a normal 9-to-5 job. For the longest time, my dad thought that I was just going to be home until I was, like, 35, which, weirdly, is completely normal in Asian families.

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.
Jason Wu
It's nice to be able to be whoever you want to be. I moved to New York for that reason. I think I am a very good example of how you really can do whatever you want to do without having any kind of prerequisite experience of any of kind of connection. None of my family members came from this world.
Jason Wu
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.

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
I hope being gay isn't the most interesting thing about me.
Jason Wu
I love the romance of Paris. I love Angelina [tearoom and pastry shop]. I always get a Mont-blanc [pastry] there.

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.
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
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.
Jason Wu
I hope I am the antithesis of disposable fashion.
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
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 love a little bit of glamour and I love tall girls.
Jason Wu
We all want to be a little glamorous, a little playful and a little mischievous at times.
