We shop out of boredom, for release, for excitement, for a sense of achievement, for a sense of control over our unruly existences. And every so often, we shop because we need something to wear.

I have my mantra about silhouette, proportion, and fit. I believe that when they are in harmony and balance, you’ll look great in anything.

If I had to choose a single destination where I'd be held captive for the rest of my time in New York, I’d choose the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

You can be too rich and too thin, but you can never be too well read or too curious about the world.

I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.

Life is not a solo act. It's a huge collaboration, and we all need to assemble around us the people who care about us and support us in times of strife.

If you have to ask if a clothing item is a dress or a top, it is always a top.

Take the high road. No matter how much strife, and consternation, frustration and anger you might be confronted with - don't go to that level.

Leggings are everywhere, indeed. Personally, I'm not crazy about them, but they can look great with the right look, a tunic, for instance, or a long cardigan. Just don't try to dress them up!

I want to say to anyone who works in a drone workplace, raise the bar! There's no reason why you have to dress to the lowest common denominator.

The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.

To be happy, you simply need to choose happiness and it comes from within not without.

People always knock what's new but I love the modern Internet, where cleverness is currency. Social media is a cleverness meritocracy. We're living in it.

Unless we give part of ourselves away unless we can live with other people and understand them and help them we are missing the most essential part of our own lives.

I am still very surprised that I managed to make that film [Close Up]. When I actually look back on that film, I really feel that I was not the director but instead just a member of the audience.

Again, if I was going to call Romney and the Republicans stupid, I'm certainly not going to call the Democrats and President Obama stupid.

To embody a character, you have to lose all judgment about them.

Discretion is a synonym for intelligence.

The romantics would call this a love story, the cynics would call it a tragedy.

Mike and Harvey finally consummate things, a great cliffhanger

Pleasure is the flower that passes; remembrance, the lasting perfume.
