I'm intrigued by traditional Indian designs. They are so beautifully handcrafted, and the designs are so intricate and beautiful. I really prefer the Indian designs.

The Indians have such strong traditions and aesthetics, and the people are beautiful, as are their goods.

I love art that haunts me, that stays with me, that is left embedded in my mind. I don't really think there is any use for owning or collecting art; it is more about remembering and preserving it in the minds eye and allowing it into your cultural DNA.

West Indian cultural mentality and a North American life equals the perfect balance.

Art is like a border of flowers along the course of civilization.

Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.

I'm more comfortable weaving Indian flavors into American classics.

I live in a neighborhood where there's a lot of West Indian culture, so it's nice.

We have contributed through Indian culture; so many international collections are Indian-inspired. Why we don't make an international impact? We have talent, but we have not leveraged it, not married commerce to design.
