The beautiful thing about L.A. is that you have 50 countries in one county. Diversity brings power and muscle.

Any company of my size cannot live without thinking it's possible to go public one day.

The American woman is more stylish than any other in the world. She understands the power of good style and has the confidence to feel comfortable.

Yes, e-commerce is a strange situation for an old guy like me. You can buy a TV online, OK, but to buy a dress or shoes? Ugh. The customer has to go back to the store and breathe and smell and have a good time. Because shopping is a good time - like going to a nice restaurant.

I've admired Alicia Keys since before I got into the music industry, just everything she represents as a female artist.

Martha Graham, along with George Balanchine, is one of the two commanding figures in 20th-century American dance. For those much younger than I am, her genius as a performer will have to be taken on faith - and on the always-suspect evidence of film. What will last, if things go well, is her genius as a choreographer, as a woman of the theater.

I enjoy talking to people about what I do - about films, music, directors, and art. It's very strange, having to talk about yourself.

To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.
