“I hate birthdays, .. It’s more like a new starting point in New York. For me, it’s an evolution. I don’t celebrate the past. I like the present and tomorrow.”

I don’t want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy

What is the worst is a fashion designer who talks all the time of his or her creativity, what they are, how they evolved. Just do it and shut up.

Don’t wear what you question, wear what you think is right for you.

I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.

The brain is a muscle, and I’m a kind of body-builder.

Its all about taste.If you are cheap, nothing helps

My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn’t dare do themselves.

Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.

I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.

I don’t want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven’t done. There’s no “again.” There’s only the future. I hate the past – especially my own past.

Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.

I never fall in love.

I’m never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that’s the secret to doing things well.

I’m born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching.

These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly. Fashion is about dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women.

Personality begins where comparison ends.

A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. But a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.

The essence of songs is neither vocal nor cerebral but organic.

Just celebrate the life you had, not the life you could’ve had.

I believe every human life is a gift from God and we should cherish and protect and celebrate them.

I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.

Life is too short not to celebrate nice moments!

When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.

People may need something to celebrate. They need a context in which to celebrate things. They need something that fills the void that’s left by the bankruptcy of religion and so forth.
