Women's Wear Daily can do more than any other publication to establish a designer.

I love women. I'm trying to do beautiful things with them. I'm not trying to insult them. My life is not about that.

I don't trust a lot of journalists.

I don't dwell on success. Maybe that's one reason I'm successful.

We're not doing outrageous fashion I make sports clothes that are relatively conservative, clothes that everyone wears.

I'm not a politician and don't want any part of politics.

Some people feel that what we're doing makes no sense, that it's just a waste of money. But it's working.

What we're doing is fun - if you have any sense of humor at all!

People in their 70s can still have incredible lives. Health is the most important thing.

I'm not a drug addict. My wild period wasn't about drugs it was about sexual freedom.

I won't allow myself to have tremendous fear.

No 27-year-old has the experience to run a company that does a quarter of a billion dollars a year in sales.

People who run a ready-to-wear company are businessmen rather than production or design people.

There has been a change in men's attitudes toward their clothes. Men are more aware of fashion they're not afraid of it.

When I started the business, I hardly went home. I became very driven about work and about my career.

I'm in a business where no one cares about anything except how well your last collection sold.

The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural.

When I get into bed at night, I hope I don't get into it alone!
