I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit.

Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection.

To me, fashion is like a mirror. It's a reflection of the times. And if it doesn't reflect the times, it's not fashion. Because people aren't gonna be wearing it.

What people look to me for is a whole look. People come to me for icing on the cake, not a basic stretch pant.

I always tell Bobby he was up in the air so so long that I had had time to shower and change before he hit the ice.

I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I'm actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they in turn were my life lessons.

And once again we plighted our troth, And titter'd, caress'd, kiss'd so dearly.

It is God's kindness to terrify you in order to lead you to safety.

When a guy running for president will not support the troops, not support veterans, not support teachers, that's really important.

More and more students are playing it safe and not taking any risks. You might not succeed, but that's just part of the game.
