Quote

I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school.

I was a bookish kid, not really athletic.

I used to sketch - that's the way I thought out loud. Then they made a book of my sketches, and I got self-conscious, so now I don't do it much.

I never travel without my sketch book.

In high school and college, I was an athlete.

A part of my kind of design and inspiration ethos is that I carry around a leather notebook and I sketch in it, doodle in it, write notes in it, and I put pictures in it.

When I was either 7 or 8 years old, I did a sketch every day of my teacher and what she wore. At the end of the year, I gave her the sketchbook. For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams.

At times during high school and college I wished to be a sportswriter.

My freshman year of high school I joined the chess and math clubs.

I was an athlete when I was growing up.
