The dynamics of film directing and fashion design - in the ways that I've done it - were not dissimilar.

Both film and fashion are businesses where the audience doesn't feel or see the work that goes on behind the scenes.

We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn't we have a fashion designer as a senator?

I love to design. I am a commercial fashion designer. I always design jackets with two sleeves. I don't design jackets with three sleeves, or the layers and layers come off like little dolls from Russia. Fashion for me is a creative endeavor, but it is not art for me.

Fashion is harder than the film industry. You have to constantly be able to crank out hit after hit after hit on demand and on a very tight calendar. I've come back, I've lost it, I've come back again. It's really as good as your last collection.
