I want people to think of me as a nice person. I really am so blessed. All of this has been a great experience and I thank the American public so much for putting me in this position. I appreciate every second of it.

Why has elegance found so little following? That is the reality of it. Elegance has the disadvantage if that's what it is that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it.

Education is the power to think clearly the power to act well in the worlds work and the power to appreciate life.

I appreciate everything that has been done for me. After a difficult start I've just followed my dreams.

I really appreciate artists of the 20th century and I can see a lot of their influence on my work but to suggest that my design only fits within an 'ism' kind of bothers me.

I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court.

When I was younger I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something which never leads to anything except death where everything leads to. And then as I got older and then I had my kids and everything I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.

There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now.

Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.

To those of you who are wearing ties I think my dad would appreciate it if you took them off.
