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

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.

I’m more offended when someone’s killed on television than when there’s something that’s sensuous or sexual. So what?

Commercials capture your attention, that’s all.

I couldn’t have attended half the parties that I was supposed to have been to according to the newspapers. It bothers me.

Traditionally, the sample is always better than the stock you deliver to the store.

People who run a ready-to-wear company are businessmen rather than production or design people.

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

Levi’s can produce many more Western jeans than we can and make them at a better price.

What we’re doing is fun – if you have any sense of humor at all!

I have the reputation of being easygoing. But inside, I’m like nails. I will kill.

No 27-year-old has the experience to run a company that does a quarter of a billion dollars a year in sales.

When I started the business, I hardly went home. I became very driven about work and about my career.

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

I’m not a politician and don’t want any part of politics.

If I allow journalists to describe a collection and they make mistakes, I’m upset, because the retractions are never noticed.

My general thing is, if you feel cute in your outfit, then your outfit is cute.

Put on a record and take off most of your clothes.

New clothes won’t fill the void. Money won’t make you happy. Attention won’t heal past wounds. Things won’t finally make you feel better. If it’s broken its broken. These are distractions from the real work.

If you are overdressed, it is a comment on them. If you are under dressed, it is a comment on you.

I love making shorts out of jeans, or customizing denim. Basically, I like to rip and distress things… I love that look.

Clothes are fun. The designers have so much fun making them, you should have fun wearing them, too.

I’m not perfect. But clothes help. A good bra with some underwire definitely helps a lot!

It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success.
