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

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

I have the New York Daily News to thank for the jeans controversy.

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

You don't only worry about the people who hate or resent you; in a way, you're more worried about the people who love you.

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

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

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

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

It's fun seeing my label on someone's behind - I like that.

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.

I don't trust a lot of journalists.

There are a lot of gay people in fashion, but it's not as if every gay person is a great creator.

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

I guess I don't have a proper perspective on my fame; if I did, I don't think I'd like it.

I'm more offended when someone's killed on television than when there's something that's sensuous or sexual. So what?

I think there's something incredibly sexy about a woman wearing her boyfriend's T-shirt and underwear.

There's an awareness of fashion in this country, and it's not limited to gay people.

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

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

I've met people who didn't even know there was a Calvin Klein; they thought it was just the name of a product.

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.

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

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

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

My wardrobe consists of antique clothes, many of my designs, plus shoes and shirts from Brooks Brothers and Paul Stuart.

Levi's can produce many more Western jeans than we can and make them at a better price.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It seems there's always another rumor about my life; some people are simply talked about more than others.

I'm neither Democrat nor Republican.

My men's-underwear print ads are very popular!

I love Brooke. Exploiting her was never my intention.

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

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

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

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

Commercials capture your attention, that's all.

The only way to advertise is by not focusing on the product.

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

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

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

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