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

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.

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

You don’t get to advertise all the good that your religion does without first scrupulously subtracting all the harm it does and considering seriously the question of whether some other religion, or no religion at all, does better.

Authentic brands don’t emerge from marketing cubicles or advertising agencies. They emanate from everything the company does.

Commercials capture your attention, that’s all.

Starbucks is not an advertiser; people think we are a great marketing company, but in fact we spend very little money on marketing and more money on training our people than advertising.

I understand that I have a certain look that can be used to my advantage. I know the power of that when I walk into a room and talk to people, and I can use it as an advertising tool. Now I am actually selling me, my face, my thoughts. So I am my guy.

For me, ‘Diamond Necklace’ is a commercial attempt, as it has songs and glamour.

If advertisers spent the same amount of money on improving their products as they do on advertising then they wouldn’t have to advertise them.

Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don’t have for something they don’t need.
