Evening is a time of real experimentation. You never want to look the same way.

Accent your positive and delete your negative.

Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul.

It's really easy to get colors right. It's really hard to get black - and neutrals - right. Black is certainly a color but it's also an illusion.

We've come a long way. Power dressing now is designed to let the woman inside us come through.

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.

Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable.

I'd rather promote New York than anything else in this world because New York to me means the world.

Delete the negative; accentuate the positive!

I feel very strongly about dresses on every level - a dress feels like underpinning.

Everything in life... has to have balance.

Age and size are only numbers. It's the attitude you bring to clothes that make the difference.

Basically, I was a hippie and still am a flower child.

Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter.

I believe in comfort. If you don't feel comfortable in your clothes, it's hard to think of anything else.

I design from instinct. It's the only way I know how to live. What feels good. What feels right. What is needed. Give me a problem and I will approach it creatively, from my gut.

I love skiing, I love the sun, I love my children, I love my grandchildren, I love my family and friends... and whatever I haven't done.

I think I was a nomad in another life.

I've always been about the power of a woman - accentuating the positive, deleting the negative, whether you're talking her body, her voice or her leadership.

If I weren't doing what I'm doing today... I'd be traveling around the world on the back of a motorcycle.

It used to be only yoga, but now I do Pilates as well; I feel like I need the balance.

My daughter Gabby very kindly once said that she thinks I was a better mother because I was doing a job I loved. I now think guilt is a universal part of being a mother. I used to think it was Jewish-mother guilt but now I think it is working-mother guilt.

My mother was a working woman, and I was alone a lot. So I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom.

Originally, back in 1992, DKNY started because I couldn't find a pair of jeans. I also wanted to dress my teenage daughter Gabby. So it was the perfect street wardrobe: jeans, anoraks, jumpsuits, boyfriend jackets, sweaters, skirts and dresses. Then DKNY grew into an entire lifestyle concept, including tailored clothes you wear to work.

Scheduling me is not easy, as most people know, because once I start, I don't stop.

When I first started designing, all women were dressed like men, and I said, 'Hey, guys, let's be women, put the two together - it's not either/or. Let's celebrate our bodies. Our bodies are different.'

Women should always take care of themselves first. It makes you more equipped to take care of others.

You don't have that much choice in your life, which is one of the big lessons I've learned. I was going to be a designer whether I wanted to be a designer or not.

Delete the negative; accentuate the positive.

Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe the practical with the desirable.

After I'd produced about two dozen pen and ink drawings, one evening I decided that they needed poems to accompany them. I still have no idea where that notion came from, but it took me about two hours to produce verses for these creatures.

A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing, you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play, you have all day.

I'm looking forward to providing the men of Seattle with an evening where they can kick back, light up a cigar and enjoy a night to themselves. Women, we can't technically keep you out, but please stay at home.

Collectively, we must do more than simply watch, with resignation and a feeling of powerlessness, reports on the evening news about the latest terrorist atrocity.

By the time this concert ends this evening, 30,000 Africans will have died because of extreme poverty. By this time tomorrow evening, another 30,000. This does not make sense.

For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.

South Koreans who have seen and praised the mass games should remember the hardship of tearful children. Teachers drive them hard with curses and orders to repeat and repeat. When the children return home in the evening, they can hardly walk.

Remember that God under the Law ordained a Lamb to be offered up to Him every Morning and Evening.

In the evening of the first day my father conducted us to the public baths.

The companion of an evening, and the companion for life, require very different qualifications.

Each morning sees some task begun, each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, has earned a night's repose.

In the morning we received some very thin coffee. For lunch we had potato soup with a few pieces of meat in it, in the evening we had a very thin meat soup with some potatoes in it.

The day of the sun is like the day of a king. It is a promenade in the morning, a sitting on the throne at noon, a pageant in the evening.

The sun was like a great visiting presence that stimulated and took its due from all animal energy. When it flung wide its cloak and stepped down over the edge of the fields at evening, it left behind it a spent and exhausted world.

There's nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.

I spent an entire evening seated between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, being charmed from either side. It was pure Hollywood magic.

His struggle for a bare living left him no time to take advantage of the public evening school. In time he learned to read, to follow a conversation or lecture; but he never learned to write correctly; and his pronunciation remains extremely foreign to this day.
