“I can tell you every element of every single look from each collection...” — John Rocha Quote

I can tell you every element of every single look from each collection - one to 30 - without looking at a picture: my label is all done by me.

I have no idea why, but I find that men make more of an impact on me in films than women - even very beautiful ones.

I think my love of form is especially informed by my background, whether this is creating a wonderful silhouette in a dress or finding the perfect shape for a bowl or the 'just so' angle of a table leg.

As I get older and older, people like my work more and more.

I never set out to do interior design; I just do what I do, and some people come along and want me to work with them.

Having a collection of regrets when you hit your 40s is part of the deal.

'The Devil's Dictionary' reads like a collection of great Twitter posts. And as people do with tweets, they can swipe Bierce's best lines and recite them as nearly their own. The reflected glory of reposting.

For each project I do, I try to surprise myself, do the unexpected, and change my own status quo. From the One Laptop Per Child, the Herman Miller Sayl, or the latest Movado watch collection, there is always an insecurity about being able to do something important. I think each of those projects makes me feel like we have progressed.

A lot of new artists sign their deal and then go into a development stage for a year or two or sometimes never get out of it. For me, because I had been a working songwriter in town, I had a collection of songs that I was ready to make into an album. At the time, I didn't realize it was becoming an album, but it was.
