Together with the rise of the internet, September 11 and its aftermath has changed most of our lives.

I'm most interested in that moment when my entire perspective changes, and I have to reconsider everything.

Since I was a child, my whole life has revolved around music. It's often while listening to a song that ideas for my fashion collections formed.

In the future, fast-fashion retailers might change their philosophy toward real efforts to create a world of their own. One can only hope.

Fashion somehow, for me, is purely and happily irrational.

Photography has always been about documentary, the depiction of the instant, a moment, sometimes a place. Each project is somehow an experimentation of a specific context or a character.

I'd like men to think about evolving into something more sophisticated, more seductive. To explore the possibility of an entirely new masculinity.

Music has shaped men’s fashion and transposed in a playful and witty manner its riding or military heritage. It is difficult to figure out who leads but music and fashion are connected genetically.

Men's fashion has a certain heaviness in the fabrics and construction. But also there is a heaviness in the mentality.

Men are not supposed to be mysterious. That's what you say about women. But I think men can have a little of it, too.

David Bowie, for me, was the butchest guy in town. Jagger was like a truck driver.

Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy —the joy of being Salvador Dalí— and I ask myself in rapture: What wonderful things is this Salvador Dalí going to accomplish today?

Everything, no matter how beautiful, is only with us for awhile.

Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.

I have sought spirituality of soul and well-being over all other things.

The world is what you make of it.

I want to fall in love, with an emphasis on the falling part.

If we are ever to enjoy life now is the time not tomorrow or next year. ... Today should always be our most wonderful day.

Gratitude is an astoundingly reliable, immediate way of becoming present.

I am richer than Davy Crockett. I can settle back and do what I want to do. And what I want to do is card tricks and magic.

If we have love and compassion in our hearts, then we will wholeheartedly serve those who suffer from lack of food, clothing and shelter.
