Science is not addressed to poets.

I used to sit near Marilyn Monroe in the Actor's Studio. She'd get dressed up because that was her identity. Sad. Those cameras wouldn't leave her alone. She didn't know where to hide.

I often feel like I have this spirit living inside of me always dressing in like short mini skirts... but then I start to discover myself. So there are eight spirits mischievous ones sad ones handsome ones wise ones and crazy ones.

My great-grandfather was in the army in India and we have photographs of my family there in full Victorian dress. They're incredibly romantic.

I've never felt that I had to take a role in one of those mediocre but hugely budgeted romantic comedies because I want to wear beautiful dresses and have people think I'm pretty and that I get the guy.

I hate to say it but the truth is that the upscale line is where I get respect as a designer. The higher the price range the higher the respect level from the industry even though it's much easier to make a great $500 dress than a great $100 dress.

My father told me to dress to reflect the respect you have for the people around you. I've never forgotten that.

I'm a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women and part of that involves how we present ourselves.

I dress up a certain way because I respect the music.

Don't ever know who you may meet or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy don't mean they're not an important person. You just don't ever know who you're gonna meet in life. So that's why I look at everybody as equal. Can't just judge. I treat everybody with respect. Every man.
