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

It is not easy to do something good, but it is extremely difficult to do something bad.

I was stuck in the elevator in my office building in Soho for about 45 minutes with a talent manager, and we just got to talking.

Anyone who is secure about herself shouldn’t be threatened by the ads I do.

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

We work because it’s a chain reaction, each subject leads to the next.

I have the reputation of being easygoing. But inside, I’m like nails. I will kill.

Traditionally, the sample is always better than the stock you deliver to the store.

If you have never been amazed by the very fact that you exist, you are squandering the greatest fact of all.

I’m not selling sex. I’m selling underwear and jeans, and I’m not trying to do it with pornography.

The details are not the details. They make the design.

It’s not a party until the fire department shows up.

Commercials capture your attention, that’s all.

Nothing earth-shattering has happened in men’s fashion. How much can you do with men’s clothes?

To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.

I love Brooke. Exploiting her was never my intention.

We were using Brooke as an actress; she was playing different roles: a liberated woman, a teenager, a vamp.

Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone.

I’m not trying to be Mr. Universe, but I want to stay in shape.

The details are details. They make the product. The connections, the connections, the connections. It will in the end be these details that give the product its life.

Mean people are no fun.

I certainly feel that an adult woman has a right to determine what happens to her life and body.

People have told me about organized crime in the fashion industry, but I can’t talk about that. I’m looking to stay alive.

Chicago is partly a fairy tale because it’s inside one person’s head, so that part of it’s made up and the rest of it is reality.

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.

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

No one should be allowed to play the violin until he has mastered it.

I’ve been strong and determined all my life about many things I’ve wanted.

Art resides in the quality of doing, process is not magic.

When we first sort of break in or bust into the house, if you will, there’s some tough love.

I could’t have gotten to the place where I am if I had been tripping on acid during the day.

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

I really like the original Apes costumes. The colors were great, and the use of heavy materials was something that influenced me for this film.

I personally would not have plastic surgery. What the hell for? It looks ridiculous.

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

If life were just, we would be born old and achieve youth about the time we’d saved enough to enjoy it.

If I allow journalists to describe a collection and they make mistakes, I’m upset, because the retractions are never noticed.

Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world.

I couldn’t have attended half the parties that I was supposed to have been to according to the newspapers. It bothers me.

People read things into my commercials that don’t even exist.

I’ve been lucky in the things I’ve got to work on. I’ve been able to keep it fresh, always getting to do different kinds of things.

I still drink vodka; I’m not an advocate of drinking, but I’m no angel. I don’t like grass, because it just makes me hungry.

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

Might does not make right, it only makes history.

If you really love someone and care about him, you can survive many difficulties.

Eventually everything connects – people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se.

I don’t always want my opinion known. What little privacy I have left I’d like to maintain.

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

The first Chicago was definitely a product of its time, and Chicago the musical is definitely a contemporary look at another time.

I’m crazy, and I don’t pretend to be anything else.
