There are really no rules, and that is what makes contemporary design so limitless and enjoyable.

To me, the one thing you should splurge on, if you only have a certain amount of money to spend, is your bed because you spend about 30 percent of your life in bed, and you should be comfortable, and you should wake up every day just feeling good.

I think you could say L.A. has a bit of a cookie-cutter gay community.

I have the same sense of discovery and exhilaration from objects of design and everyday use - I am inspired by the buildings in my city, by park greenery and dazzling store windows, by the jaunty strollers and umbrellas and billboards I walk past. Just strolling our streets, we encounter creativity every single day.

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 felt my design point of view was more welcomed in New York, that I could show my collections in the way I wanted to show them.
