The age in which we live, this non-stop distraction, is making it more impossible for the young generation to ever have the curiosity or discipline... because you need to be alone to find out anything.

I've got a terrible memory; it's probably because I'm always concentrating on what I'm doing now.

I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things.

I have certain signatures, certain cutting principles. It could be a raw-edged seam; it could be leaving the lining of sheepskin exposed so it's not perfectly finished. I invent new ways to do it, but the end goal is always the same.

There's variables at every single gig. I look forward to those every night. We have a lot of things that happen in our show, a lot of people from the outside watching the show might think it's one schtick after the next. We promised ourselves we have to be there mentally. We have to be aware. We are forced to be aware.

The difference between sentiment and being sentimental is the following: Sentiment is when a driver swerves out of the way to avoid hitting a rabbit on the road. Being sentimental is when the same driver, when swerving away from the rabbit, hits a pedestrian.

I liked Tom Bower's biography of Bernie Ecclestone, the former Formula 1 boss.

Not being white has never prevented me from enjoying Luke Skywalker or Han Solo. These are heroes of mine.
