I am terrible at making food. I love eating, but I can't make anything.

I'm not an elitist. I hate the fashion industry sometimes because it becomes so focused on the elite.

I like places where you can dance to crazy music, like Bedlam or Eastern Bloc in the East Village.

Fashion is such an insider's club, but slowly, the playing field is evening out. Through social media, everyone can have a front-row seat.

Uniqlo as a company has always developed new fabrics and is always trying to be innovative. The design is simple, so the fabric is important.

Japan, for me, will always be my inspiration source.

I'm not a designer, I'm a creator.

The dark side of social media is that, within seconds, anything can be blown out of proportion and taken out of context. And it's very difficult not to get swept up in it all.

Having plants and flowers in my space makes me feel very calm and Zen. For me, its important to meditate every morning to be very clear in the head, and nature really helps me do the same thing.

Fans don't lie. They just tell you what they really think, and they see details that even people in fashion don't.

I'm just inspired by different people, friends around me.

You are the most influential person in your life. You can embrace your strengths or give away your power. The choice is yours.

I was always the girl who wore the mismatching socks, frizzy hair, ponytail I wouldn't take out for a week, and cutoff jean shorts that were at my knees.

The essence of my work, and of me, is the softer side of a strong woman, and that goes into a number of different roles.

To have what we want is riches; but to be able to do without is power.

A man cannot wheedle nor overawe his Genius. It requires to be conciliated by nobler conduct than the world demands or can appreciate.

Between childhood, boyhood, adolescence & manhood (maturity) there should be sharp lines drawn w/ Tests , deaths, feats, rites stories, songs, & judgements.

I have a tendency to sabotage relationships; I have a tendency to sabotage everything. Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of being afraid. Useless, good-for-nothing thoughts.

I feel that whatever you put out is what you'll get back. I always put out, 'hey, hi, I'm a bass player, no bullshit,' and that's what I got back. I got the respect.

The way was long, the wind was cold, The Minstrel was infirm and old; His withered cheek, and tresses gray, Seemed to have know a better day.

Forgetting is natural, remembering is the effort one makes.
