“I'm really not for famous people who design a line for a company, when you know it's not really them creating it but a team of designers, especially when there are so many talented people who've taken the time to go and study fashion.”

“Famous remarks are very seldom quoted correctly.”

“I don't feel famous and I didn't want my autobiography to be like a Paris Hilton story.”
