Trying And Acheiving Are Two Different Things.

I Have A Very Socratic Approach - I Pummel The Designers With Questions, So When I Get Them To Step Back From The Work And Look At It With Me, They'll Eventually See What I See, Coming To It Fresh And Unencumbered. That's Always Very Gratifying Because They Feel A Responsibility And An Ownership Of A Solution.

Go To Lord & Taylor On Fifth Avenue, I Think It's The Eighth Floor, And It's Just A Department Called 'woman.' It's Rather Devastating. You've Never Seen Such Hideous Clothes In Your Entire Life. I Mean, It's Simply Appalling. Thank God There Are No Windows On That Floor, Because If I Were A Size 18, I'd Throw Myself Right Out The Window [after Seeing Those Clothes]. It's Insulting What These Designers Do To These Women.

I'm Much More Of A Leo Than I Am A Cancer.

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