The problem is with men. I know I shouldn't say this, but they've shrouded and hidden women to hide their incompetence.

Men don't want another man to look at their woman because they don't know how to handle it.

Yeah, that's what I'm working for. The couture house of the future.

Women are women, and hurray for that.

I love New York. But the energy is so intense.

I don't love dolls. I love women. I love their bodies.

I'm an accomplice to helping women get what they want.

My dresses are very reasonably priced, for dresses that are cut on the body.

But I'm not an artist. Maybe an artist with a small a.

There's room for the Gap, but the joy of dressing is an art.

What about David Bowie? He's a sexy creature.

But I'm going to be a real good boy and take it day by day and try to concentrate on what's most important to me, and that's offering women a service.

Dressing up. People just don't do it anymore. We have to change that.

I don't care about money. I really don't care. I just want to do what I do.

Sure, I'd like to be like the House of Chanel.

Fashion is a very stressful place to work because of the demands of doing the shows - no one expects a writer to produce two books a year on the dot - but it's also a very toxic place to work.

I believe in discipline, so I'm not the right person to cry about weakness and things like this, but maybe I'm not human.

I have a very haute couture way of working.

I have all my life fought against prejudice, having been subjected to it myself.

I have learned so much about myself. I have re-discovered that little boy who had the hunger to create, which I think I had lost.

I listen and talk to God daily.

I'm passionate and I travel the world not just as a tourist but to understand cultures... I've lived with Masai tribe... I travel the world and bring it back in the form of a research book that would become the starting point for the collection.

I'm ready to create.

I've treated the waistcoat as if it were a corset, so that it becomes the first layer in the process of putting clothes on the body. There is constant motion between layering and revealing.

If I didn't already sense that I was different, I certainly was reminded, whether by my parents or by the other school kids. Not just reminded. Told... I was made to believe it wasn't right. If I went a little bit too off - slap! It was Dad's upbringing and it was Victorian, and that's the way he was.

You're only as good as your last collection, which is an enormous pressure.

The joy of dressing is an art.

Style is wearing an evening dress to McDonalds wearing heels to play football. It is personality confidence and seduction.

Be reckless enough to gamble all or nothing to follow your dreams.

The utter incompetence of the U.N. is literally incomprehensible.

Work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence.

A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence... sort of like the Post Office with tanks.

The Republicans are running wild with our tax dollars and it's been a mistake to let this administration continue a policy of incompetence when it comes to Iraq.

Laziness has become the chief characteristic of journalism, displacing incompetence.

Everyone rises to their level of incompetence.
