“When people want to be liked for what they did, they should stop.”

Think pink, but don’t wear it.

Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Improvise. Become more creative. Not because you have to, but because you want to. Evolution is the secret for the next step.

Black-and-whit e always looks modern, whatever that word means.

My hair is not really white; it’s kind of grayish, and I don’t like the color. So I make it totally white with Klorane dry shampoo. That is the best thing to do because my hair is always clean.

If you stick to something doggedly, you are off to a bad start.

I think that it’s a crime to say you are bored when time is so precious and there are so many things to do in life: read, learn, watch.

Normal people think I’m insane.

Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight.

You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur

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’m open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.

Dress for yourself and the man you love (if there is one). Women dressing to impress other women–forget about that. Forget about that. It’s a very bad way of thinking.

Youthfulness is about how you live not when you were born.

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said – and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded – ‘It’s like hair color. It’s nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It’s not a subject.’ This was a very healthy attitude.

Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.

What I hate is nasty, ugly people.

I’m not a big gambler anymore. I like to do it. I enjoy it instead of trying to make money off of it, because I realized you can’t make money gambling.

I don’t like to spend a lot of money on designer clothes, but I do like to look good.

Like a shipwreck or a jetty, almost anything that forms a structure in the ocean, whether it is natural or artificial over time, collects life.

People don’t like to make mistakes.

I think anytime you play somebody on a yearly basis, you develop a history for what they like to do.

I feel like I’ve been very blessed to have some great mentors through the years, starting with Don James, who was my college coach, who really inspired me to want to be a coach, which is not something that I really had in mind.

My wife looked at me and said: ‘Boy, you are skinny, aren’t you?’ I said: ‘Honey, I’d like to remind you that it was minor defects like this that kept me from getting a better wife.’

I try to be green as much as I can and it’s hard. I feel like I’m never doing enough.
