Im saving up to buy art. Nothing famous, but every time Im in a new city I wander into galleries and dream about buying great pieces one day.

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.

There's such a kind of complicated line between politics and the law and we don't sit around and say, hey, you know, what would Oliver Wendell Holmes have had to say to this.

If you were mine, I would never have broken up with you, not in a million years.

Barking dogs may occasionally bite, but laughing men hardly ever shoot!
