I'm a designer. I make clothes and bags and shoes. I have a job that involves making creative choices, but I'm not a divinely inspired human being like an artist!

I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting.

You can never please everyone, and I think it's best not to.

Let's do what we love and do a lot of it.

I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.

Life is a fashion show, the world is your runway.

Change is a great and horrible thing, and people love it or hate it at the same time. Without change, however, you just don't move.

I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.

There is never a wrong time for a polka dot.

One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.

What's worked for me is not quitting and being passionate about what I do and not giving up - and when I don't believe in myself, turning to others who believe in me.

You want a great life? Well, greatness is on the other side of that fu**ing wall... don't just go over it, go through it! What are you waiting for?

This world, I am afraid, is designed for crashing bores.

I am a bed of sparks you breathe upon and kindle

I try to be really hippie about things. I'm uptight in all the ways that are really important, but the things my husband and family can benefit from my uptightness, I'm completely lacking.

I think cats would have an even worse attitude if they found out how stupid their names were.

A difficult time can be more readily endured if we retain the conviction that our existence holds a purpose - a cause to pursue, a person to love, a goal to achieve.

Who knows their own story? It certainly makes no sense when you’re in the middle of it

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

These two clubs had a monopoly of the domestic honours last season.

I was all caught up with identifying with certain things. They just weren't very stimulating things.
