I don't walk around feeling like I'm successful. I feel like I did well.

Financially I'm comfortable. But life has a lot more in store for me.

I got involved in fashion by accident. When I got to New York, my intention was to have enough money to eat and to stay and I don’t have to leave. I just loved New York – the energy, the culture, the freedom.

If you love what you do, it won’t be work.

It’s not about the outside, it’s the inside. But dressing on the outside can help the inside.

I worked in a boutique after work, my second job, selling women’s clothes. And that was a way of not just making money but meeting women. That was very exciting job. I loved that job.

It doesn’t matter if it’s raining and dark. The sun is shining above the clouds.

Even a kick in the ass is good when you’re facing the right direction.

Whatever energy you put out there, that’s the energy you’re going to get back.

Don’t bring me problems. Bring me solutions.
