I've Had My Own Moments In Front Of Designers When I've Actually Said, 'you Know, There's A Market Here For Expanding Your Work, And Here It Is. And Frankly, There Are Two Markets: The Women Who Are Larger Than The 12, And Then There Are Women Who Are Petite. And Most Designers That I Talk To Have Absolutely No Interest In Addressing Either Of Those Populations, Which I Find Repugnant.

I Really Cherish Having My Private Time And Being Alone And Being Able To Decompress. It's My Own Version Of Meditating.

If You're Wearing A Jacket, As I Always Am, The Sweater Vest Always Needs To Be Buttoned, With The Exception Of The Bottom Button. But If You're Going Sans Jacket, You Can Leave It Open.

I'm Conflicted. On One Hand, I Don't Want To Say That Because You Were A Man And Now You're A Woman, You Can't Be In A Women's Fashion Show. But I Feel It's A Dicey Issue. The Fact Of The Matter Is, When You Are Transgender - If You Go, Say, Male To Female - You're Not Having Your Pelvis Broken And Having It Expanded Surgically. You Still Have The Anatomical Bone Structure Of A Man.

I Am A Stickler For Good Manners, And I Believe That Treating Other People Well Is A Lost Art. In The Workplace, At The Dinner Table, And Walking Down The Street--we Are Confronted With Choices On How To Treat People Nearly Every Waking Moment. Over Time These Choices Define Who We Are And Whether We Have A Lot Of Friends And Allies Or None.

I Understand The All Black Or All White Look (to Be Perfectly Blunt, It's Easy And You Don't Have To Think About It Very Much) But Would Any Of Us Really Want To Be One Of Those People?
