“There are a lot of gay people in fashion, but it’s not as if every gay person is a great creator.”

I’ve met people who didn’t even know there was a Calvin Klein; they thought it was just the name of a product.

I’m in a business where no one cares about anything except how well your last collection sold.

You don’t only worry about the people who hate or resent you; in a way, you’re more worried about the people who love you.

It’s fun seeing my label on someone’s behind – I like that.

I don’t think about my fame very much.

I personally would not have plastic surgery. What the hell for? It looks ridiculous.

Nothing earth-shattering has happened in men’s fashion. How much can you do with men’s clothes?

I certainly feel that an adult woman has a right to determine what happens to her life and body.

People have told me about organized crime in the fashion industry, but I can’t talk about that. I’m looking to stay alive.

The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural.

Anyone who is secure about herself shouldn’t be threatened by the ads I do.

I won’t allow myself to have tremendous fear.

I don’t dwell on success. Maybe that’s one reason I’m successful.

I guess I don’t have a proper perspective on my fame; if I did, I don’t think I’d like it.

AIDS is an absolutely tragic disease. The argument about AIDS’ being some kind of divine retribution is crap.

I’ve been strong and determined all my life about many things I’ve wanted.

Failure is a part of creating a great life. Stand up to it and handle it with grace. Because, you can.

He who created us without our help will not save us without our consent.

We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity.

The Trinity is therefore Love, all in service of the world, which He wishes to save and recreate.

The joy is in creating, not maintaining.

Trust in God the Creator, in the Holy Spirit who moves everything towards the good.
