If you're as honest and fair as you can be, not only in business but in life, things will work out.

Frances' is a longtime family name on my dad's side. My grandfather, father, brother, and my daughter's name is Frances.

Our family has dinner together every night - you can tell that my daughter wants to run. After dinner, I go up to my room and immediately put on my pajamas. I mean, immediately. I read some things that I haven't read yet, and I jump into bed.

I like a full house because it's how I grew up. I'm one of six children.

I think the details and the quality are so important that it has to have an emotional tug. Even if it's the simplest shoe, it has to have something that says, 'Oh, I have to have you.'

Students were pulled aside to spend more time in art class, and I wasn't one of them.

When you're trying to be a parent and a businessperson at the same time, that is the most stressful thing you could do.

I was preppy, then suddenly switched around age 14. I asked my mother to go to this vintage store, and she let me buy a leopard swing coat, pink cigarette pants, and lime-green gloves.

Every time I go to the market, Andy says, 'Don't forget the Triscuits!'

I'm admittedly not that into the Internet.

I remember someone once said there is a practical aspect to my designs, and I remember thinking, 'That doesn't sound so creative,' but that is actually the truth. There is a practicality to it. I don't design just to design. There is a reason and, hopefully, an interesting reason behind it - that is where my creativity comes in.

I work from home a lot. I think I get as much work done at the office as at home, and I'm used to working with people who don't work in the office. I don't really care where they are, even if they're on a banana leaf somewhere. If they deliver their work, I am completely fine. I don't need someone sitting at their desk to produce.
