“As a designer, design director or any creative person, you have to hir...” — Tom Ford Quote

As a designer, design director or any creative person, you have to hire great people, support them and make them feel comfortable so they can contribute and give you their best.

I went to a fashion show, and this silver-haired guy was staring at me with these piercing water-blue eyes. It scared me because I absolutely saw and knew my entire future.

This sounds crazy, but I know so many famous people, I'm just not intimidated by anyone. I feel really comfortable with it.

I probably do have an obsessive personality, but striving for perfection has served me well.

I have a driver in London because I am slightly dyslexic and cannot drive in the U.K.; after all, the traffic runs the opposite way to that in the United States.

I'm an artist. So if acting doesn't work out, which I hope it does, I'm probably going to go into graphic design or something like that.

Good design doesn't date.

Women have their own strengths, like fashion. In technology, we can contribute in a big way in terms of the design of the user interface.

I've learned that I've just barely scratched the surface of knowledge of the profession, and I have deep envy of and appreciation for filmmakers who really, truly understand the physics, the design of filmmaking. They can do story and color and composition and geometry and math and science all at once.

Industrial design is a superficial practice. You use your approach regardless of the project because there is no time for a deep understanding of a single product.
