glad profession
I am really glad to be working at the profession that I love.
real people ego
Without any kind of real ego on my part, I just thought, I'm going to approach the people I admire and see if they want to do something together.
mind tears magazines
My mind absorbs things in a funny way. I'm on planes quite a bit and I always take stacks and stacks of magazines and I go through them and tear pages out and fold them up, and they get stuck at the bottom of my backpack or whatever.
art critics art-critic
Art critics are like every other critic.
art thinking ideas
I think something happens with age. And I find this really a lot in what I read from certain art critics: For people who are all about change-people who are supposed to be intellectually and culturally drawn to the idea of change and how the voice of a creative person affects the world on a bigger scale than just the canvas-I would expect a person in that position to have that open mind. It's only a sign of age that they become so locked in their own rules that they forget that this is what it's all about.
art world want
I don't know the history of art, but I got over intimidation from the art world when I realized that I was allowed to feel whatever I want and like whatever I want.
people information world
We live in a world where people are really hungry for information, and they're not hungry for information on subjects that they're not interested in.
better-place
To be useful to others and to be useful to myself is definitely a better place to be.
morning couple hours
I go to the gym every morning for a couple of hours, then I come to work, whatever is on the plate for the day, I do it. I don't ask many questions, I go where I am told to.
may painful invisible
I'd like to be invisible. To be anonymous and see things for what they really are. The truth may be painful but it's probably useful!
names people pieces
A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it. That's what a sellout is to me.
dream fashion long
I always wanted to be a fashion designer so I just have to remember that as long as I'm doing it I'm living the dream.
girl fashion thinking
I create the concept, which for me is about deciding upon the right girl and the right 'spirit', and thinking of all the things that visually describe her. It's just like putting together a fashion show; for me, that starts with the spirit and the girls as well.
lunch care attention
The attention toward me is basically because of what we've built as a company. If we built a pile of crap then nobody would care what I ate for lunch.
