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

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

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

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 was never honest. My father died, and I had never said to him, 'I'm gay.' I knew what I was, but I had to pretend not to be that to avoid the beatings.

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 future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious.

It looks like the future's really bright.

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.

The best prophet of the future is the past.

Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.

Race horses are like golfers, you're never sure how they're going to come out of the stalls. It's just - hopefully the horses come out of the race all right, just fit and ready to go again in the near future, but 3rd was good. It's paid for its hay.

Philosophy finds it an easy matter to vanquish past and future evils, but the present are commonly too hard for it.

In 1975 I decided that there was no future in flying (airline jobs were impossible to get, and who wants a job where you are judged only by seniority?) and headed off to grad school.

America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

And while the U.S. can never be 100 percent safe from a future strike, our government is working around the clock on measures to protect the American people.

No one is more important to the future of our state than our teachers.

We believe that peace is not just signed papers, but rather a contract between generations for the building of a more promising and less threatening future.

What I'm suggesting to you is that this could be a renaissance. We may be on the cusp of a future which could provide a tremendous leap forward for humanity.

Yet, our achievements also mask many continuing failings and seem to expose more future dangers.

I mean that at least 80% of the Russian people feel destitute. It's the people who had their past and future taken from them - they don't get paid - many of them face a wall. They have nowhere to go.

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

It also allows you to look as though you're not particularly from the present, future or past, either.
