Never forget that what becomes timeless was once truly new.

Fashion is a playground up until a certain age. But then you have to find your own signature and your own style.

What I find most interesting in fashion is that it has to reflect our time. You have to witness your own moment.

More than anything, I'm designing for a woman of today. I want to be a witness of my time.

I'd rather work with someone who likes what I do than create something for the red carpet that won't make me happy.

You never do things thinking you will make a big statement. It just happens sometimes and you are lucky.

In French we have this word déclic. It's when you have, suddenly, a light shining and you say, "This is what I want to do."

It is soooooo necessary to get the basic skills, because by the time you graduate, undergraduate or graduate, that field would have totally changed from your first day of school.

Shaq is Shaq. I did an episode of The Soup with Shaq, and he shook my hand, and I felt like I was a Ken doll, like I had no hand.

A sense of humor is the best indicator that you will recover; it is often the best indicator that people will love you. Sustain that and you have hope.

We have always been involved in spiritual evolution. We are spiritual beings, we have always been spiritual beings and we will always be spiritual beings.

My father used to say, "Superior people never make long visits, have to be shown Longfellows grave, or the glass flowers at Harvard."

Life is but one continual course of instruction. The hand of the parent writes on the heart of the child the first faint characters which time deepens into strength so that nothing can efface them.

Genesis fans are a religious group!

Golf is the cruelest game, because eventually it will drag you out in front of the whole school, take your lunch money and slap you around.
