There are so many things to take into account - your ambition, your ego, the press, the consumers. You can never be sure that you'll be on top of the pile again.

I am not in the stock market. I am beholden to no one in what I do. If I spend billions on a fashion show, I spend billions. It's not public. And if I am in the stock market, I am obligated to account for things, and to show what the business is doing.

You can think you've made it and yet the next day's press will always be waiting for you, the public will always ask more of you. In short, you can always do better!

This is the problem with the world today: Nobody wants to take risks, to risk being themselves.

To create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail.

Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.
