More quotes by Tim Gunn
I have heard women complain about men holding doors for them,, as if it is inherently offensive and implies that they are weak. ... I would hold a door for anyone. ...

I've been in situations where I've said to young people: You're so personable, you're so articulate, you're clearly so bright, you're so good-looking - feel better about yourself! But if at the core if you don't, all those words mean nothing. Absolutely nothing.
