I think you have to be in the right place at the right time. And understand that and know when it is your time and how you react to it and how you respond to it.

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.

The sexiest thing about a bikini is that it leaves something to the imagination, which is the best part.

I think that fashion has become such a big business and with globalization we are on new territory at this point. We are not just designing for a country we are designing for a world now.

I think I'm a global citizen. My parents came from China, were educated in France and emigrated to the United States. And I think that opened up my mind to be able to live and work anywhere.

You have to focus on your dreams, even if they go beyond common sense.

I’m always about optimism and exuberance. It’s what I feel about fashion.

To me if you're going have a show, it should be a show. It should be entertaining and take you on a journey.

A piece of fabric can get me going.

Temptation can be defined as an inducement to do evil. Three powerful forces work together to ruin a believer's character and witness: Satan, the world system, and our own lustful "flesh" tendencies.

We are not the ones who create revolutions. It is the imperialist system and its allies, internal allies, the ones who create revolution.

If you don't believe in yourself how will somebody else believe in you?

But I have a list of books that I want to read before I die, and whenever I get time to read something that isn't a script, I'll read something from that.

On the Richter scale of love and romance, you've hit a twelve.

You talk of our having an idea; we do not have an idea. The idea has us, and martyrs us, and scourges us, and drives us into the arena to fight and die for it, whether we want to or not.

My heart is full of many things there are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all.

My whole life I try to make into a comedy, so it would be nice to see that onscreen.

He will lift you and guide you. He will not always take your afflictions from you, but He will comfort and lead you with love through whatever storm you face.
