Being on a trapeze is like dreaming. I feel totally outside of myself when I'm flying. You know, designing shoes, my imagination is flying in my drawings.

Shoes transform your body language and attitude. They lift you physically and emotionally.

I would hate for someone to look at my shoes and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!'

Men are like bulls. They cannot resist the red sole.

A woman carries her clothes. But the shoe carries the woman.

Shoes are just a pedestal. What interests me is the power of the woman who wears them.

Istanbul is inspiring because it has its own code of architecture, literature, poetry, music.

Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.

People seem to trust you more when you're pregnant. I think they see you as some kind of Mother Earth figure.
