I have so much respect for policy makers and diplomats, but I could never be a politician because of the way they dress!

You can watch Chanel fashion shows and watch the news. Fortunately you don't have to choose. I always vote, I go to rallies, but I also go to fashion shows.

I had always thought about running for high political office, and I was kind of waiting for the stars to line up. And, you know, they don't hold the door open for you. You kind of have to muscle your way in.

I see myself as a revolutionary, as a fashion rebel.

I enjoy politics, but if I had a third career - and I've had multiple careers - my third act would be acting.

I'm going to be a fashion icon in a minute. I'm not going to do it in a corny manner. I have a voice that speaks for a whole other market - not just black people, but high fashion urban people. I mix street wear with high fashion. It's never been seen before.

When you mix fashion and politics, you get fascism. Politics have fashion, and it's bad; fashion has politics, that are ugly.

I have a more direct avenue to expression as an artist than I ever would as a politician.
