“It seems there’s always another rumor about my life; some people are simply talked about more than others.”

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

I’m crazy, and I don’t pretend to be anything else.

There’s an awareness of fashion in this country, and it’s not limited to gay people.

If you really love someone and care about him, you can survive many difficulties.

Women’s Wear Daily can do more than any other publication to establish a designer.

I don’t trust a lot of journalists.

I’m a sexual person, and that’s reflected in my clothes and my advertisements.

People in their 70s can still have incredible lives. Health is the most important thing.

We’re not doing outrageous fashion; I make sports clothes that are relatively conservative, clothes that everyone wears.

I still drink vodka; I’m not an advocate of drinking, but I’m no angel. I don’t like grass, because it just makes me hungry.

People read things into my commercials that don’t even exist.

I love women. I’m trying to do beautiful things with them. I’m not trying to insult them. My life is not about that.

The only way to advertise is by not focusing on the product.

I’m not trying to be Mr. Universe, but I want to stay in shape.

When I get into bed at night, I hope I don’t get into it alone!

My wardrobe consists of antique clothes, many of my designs, plus shoes and shirts from Brooks Brothers and Paul Stuart.

When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.

It’s better to dance than to march through life.

Seek not the good in external things; seek it in yourselves.

Success is not measured by what you do compared to what somebody else does. Success is measured by what you do compared to what you are capable of doing.

In life, play chess not checkers.

There are too many things we do not wish to know about ourselves.

If you’ll not settle for anything less than your best, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in your lives.

I want a life free of shame and unforgiveness. I want a life that is not dictated by my performance but by my identity.
