The whole fashion thing is so oversaturated.

Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead.

The coolest thing is when you don’t care about being cool anymore. Indifference is the greatest aphrodisiac - that’s what really sums up style for me.

Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is also one of the most attractive things you can do.

Hair and shoes say it all. Everything in between is forgivable as long as you keep it simple. Trying to talk with your clothes is passive-aggress ive.

Every jacket I make has interior pockets big enough to store a book and a sandwich and a passport.

The coolest thing is when you don't care about being cool.

Stop destroying the landscape with your outfit.

You can't stay in one place. If you stay in one place you die. So you have to move forward.

Fashion can be cruel. Style is a gift to others.

I had a lot of classical influences. I had classical music and opera and literature, but I also liked sleaze. And putting it together, sleaze and glamour, it just made sense to me.

It’s degrading being routinely subjected to a battery of medical tests to ensure I continue to deserve a place in this new world.

Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words.

As uncommon a thing as true love is, it is yet easier to find than true friendship.

Knowledge is honestly everything. It's not just books and staying behind a desk and having a diploma. There's also traveling and knowledge about people, and what I do and scripts and books.

Self love is a great recurring theme, the headwaters that feed my ability to be the best version of myself in every other aspect of my life. Self worth sets the standard that life meets.

One day the Nouns were clustered in the street. An Adjective walked by, with her dark beauty. The Nouns were struck, moved, changed. The next day a Verb drove up, and created the Sentence.

Let a man be endowed with ten virtues and have but one fault and the one fault will eclipse and darken all the virtues.

How can I change me to suit the script?

We have no salaries. When one says he is from a good Catholic family and says he wants to help us, why should we refuse his offer?

President Obama is perhaps the smartest person I've ever worked with.
