If I take pictures at a party, I never get bored.

As a kid I collected stamps, pebbles on the beach, anything. I liked to have at least 10 of something.

Obviously if you are an accountant, a criminal lawyer, a president, or a senator, or if you work in a funeral parlor, you have to wear a tie, but more and more people are wearing very casual clothes.

I'm always interested in finding the new trend. If you love pizza every day, after 22 years of eating pizza, you want to try sushi.

Sense of humor is important in life, not just in clothing. How boring to live a life in beige.

Every five years, I decide to learn something new.

In the last 20 years of collecting contemporary African art, I have been bombarded by incredible shapes and colors that I now want to translate into clothes.

If I had done what I was programmed to do, I would now be sitting in a car factory looking at the sizes of wheels, or wondering how to get credit to start a new factory in Russia.

It would be much easier to just make black, brown and beige clothes. But I do not see the world in black and white and beige. I find colors incredibly important.

I'd love to open a private museum in Paris, London, or New York, but I don't have the money. If I were Bill Gates or Paul Allen, the first thing I would do is build a museum.

For me to be pompous is the most horrible thing in the world. It's like putting a wall around you. It screws you up. You'd better be willing to change your views or adapt and be modern.

Progress is impossible without accurate planning.

The central problem of our age is how to act decisively in the absence of certainty.

A conclusion is a place where you got tired of thinking.

Adventure is just about doing something you’ve never done— doing it with enthusiasm and curiosity: doing something difficult with passion.

People are zealous for a cause when they are not quite positive that it is true.

It's just different today. Nobody seems to last too long these days. I wouldn't know how to get started today.

Don't convince yourself you're over, don't convince yourself you're done, just because the things around you seem heavy, doesn't mean you can't get off this ground.

Because your goal is a complete rough draft of a novel, and every rough draft, by being complete, is perfect.

Space for the Spirit to breathe.

People love that monkey torture.
