The way the people around you position themselves around you to get in your pockets and in your mind is infuriating to me.

I think when you start talking about money, it stops the whole creative process for me.

But if you think you aren't creative that's cool, too. I think being around people who aren't creative is kind of refreshing and nice.

I believe in social dislocation and creative trouble.

I'm definitely addicted to purses.

If someone's intimidated by me, that's something they have to deal with. When I walk down the streets of New York and an old woman grabs her purse when I pass by, I'm not going to give it a whole lot of energy because I'm not in the wrong. I'm a millionaire, and I'm not thinking about grabbing an old woman's purse.

I think being on a constraint with money makes you much more creative.

I tend to look out for things with a resonance to my youth - artists or objects that seemed romantic all those years ago. I never buy anything purely for its value. I like possessions that smile back at me.

For people that don't have any interest in the psychology of nuance, who need everything to be in their face, who don't want to analyze... those aren't the people I romanticize about dressing.
