I was very influenced by movies; I was very influenced by a world that had a sense of dream.

My life has been a dream. If someone had to write a story about it, it would seem a little unreal. It's the kind of story I would read and say, 'Nah, that's not possible.'

The clothes that I design and everything I've done is about life and how people live and how they want to live and how they dream they'll live. That's what I do.

The dream knows what they are waiting for, even if they don’t themselves.
The end of everything.
The moment when it reveals its miracle boy and all the eyes will look and their seeing will be horror and glory and wonder and it will pierce the skin of the world, collapse dimensions, and open the doors and the work will breathe and dance in his shoes and the dream will be able to escape.

I have had a lot of good things happen, but I've also had a lot of terrible things happen.

I never went to fashion school. I didn't know what a designer was. I knew I had something, but I didn't know what it was. And it could just have easily been nothing.
