I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'

I'd love to design bridal dresses.

I love design.

It would have been difficult to design a path out of communism worse than the one that has been followed.

The Japanese have a wonderful sense of design and a refinement in their art. They try to produce beautiful paintings with the minimum number of strokes.

That was always my frustration with so many of these shows because design is not an ambush... it's a relationship. You have to know how people move and live and work to be able to design for them.

A person should design the way he makes a living around how he wishes to make a life.

Music is where I have the most creative freedom but I love producing. To me that's kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director sometimes picking a writer to the actors the wardrobe set design editing music and marketing.

I like the gritty parts of fashion the design the studio the pictures.

But alas! what poor Woman is ever taught that she should have a higher Design than to get her a Husband?
