Fashion really is women's liberation in a lot of ways. Look at how many women in this country are depressed about how they look and how they think they have to look! It's really sad. And it's not about money.

Self-exploration is very painful, but unless you do that, you will never know who you are and who you want to be.

I live in the Dark Ages, the 17th century. Actually, I would have loved to be in Paris in the early 20th century when the Ballets Russes were there and Chanel was designing.

In my view, you can't go to the future if you haven't come from the past.
