Men have been buying my women's coats for years.

Design is not for philosophy it's for life.

Architects always have a feel for time - the generation they live in - as we do, and they are always striving toward boundless adventure.

Frank Gehry not only understood my sense of fun and adventure but also reciprocated it and translated that feeling into his work.

I think when you're writing films that just come fresh out of your own imagination - I think probably anyone who's done that, there are certain themes or styles.

I think my printing to this day looks like the printing right out of a comic book. Actually, I always wanted to be in a comic book. I watched cartoons when I was a kid, too, and both comics and cartoons lit fire in my imagination. This realm holds a lot of interest for me, a lot of passion for me. So to be comic-ized, yeah, that's cool.

A huge part of my writing process is listening to music as I write, almost creating an unofficial soundtrack to the film I'm working on, a sort of playlist. But the specific songs change rapidly as I write.

I feel like 'Amelie' is very much an extension of me. She's a contemporary woman who sees the world through her imagination.
