Sometimes I can’t figure designers out. It’s as if they flunked human anatomy.

The President is always abused. If he isn’t, he isn’t doing anything.

Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.

I think my style is probably more of a classic look.

In whatever adulation you get, there’s truth and there’s not truth. And wherever they dog you, and they say it was horrible – there’s truth and there’s not truth. It’s human nature to like to read the adulation more.

I have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I’m such a short little thing, I can’t reach my kitchen cabinets.

Romcoms are hard in a lot of ways: they’re built to be buoyant. It’s easy to demean them.

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain – and most fools do.

Suppose I criticise Iran. What impact does that have? The only impact it has is in fortifying those who want to carry out policies I don’t agree with, like bombing.

Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury.

It’s a representation of yourself, and you can express a lot of your creativity with what your wearing.

Everything has changed, and nothing has changed more than the world of fashion.

America is just downright mean.

A fashion is nothing but an induced epidemic.

Fashion fades, only style remains the same.

It is easier to be critical than correct.

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous.

I always loved advertising. If I hadn’t been in fashion, I’d have been in advertising.

There are definitely people who disagree with certain creative decisions you make. Pleasing everyone is pretty hard.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

I always wear the kind of stuff that makes you overheat and die.

I try not to go around looking like a hag.

The difference between humans and other mammals is that we know how to accessorize.

I’m not big on flak jackets and tie-dyed shirts. You know, that’s not me.

Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.

Everyone who is critical of Israeli policy is deluged by crazed messages intended to flood their email system or, more insidiously, passwords are accessed and messages sent out under their name! I’m sure it’s illegal. It’s also an effort to undermine free speech.

I think any man who lets a woman pick what he should wear… I mean, you gotta draw the line somewhere as a man. I see these guys, ‚My wife told me to wear this!‘ And I just shake my head.

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

He who acts with a constant view to his own advantage will be much murmured against.

What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I’m not who I say I am when it comes to my faith – something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.

The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up.

The mainstream is always under attack.

In a democracy, allegations will never improve situations. So, I’m against allegations, but I always welcome criticism.

A critic should be taught to criticise a work of art without making any reference to the personality of the author.

It’s not difficult for me to put my feelings into written form. I try to be concise and to go direct to the subject. This is what people like about my work, and what the critics hate.

I urge everyone to be trendsetters for Azza Suleiman. Let’s make it one fashion which everyone will want to follow.

I know black people love the idea that we finally have a beautiful, good-looking black president. But if he is doing awful things to us, we should wake up.

I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large.

The public is the only critic whose opinion is worth anything at all.

I have a hat. It is graceful and feminine and give me a certain dignity, as if I were attending a state funeral or something. Someday I may get up enough courage to wear it, instead of carrying it.
