The key is falling in love with something, anything. If your heart's attached to it, then your mind will be attached to it.

It's hard to balance everything. It's always challenging.

I see myself as a true modernist. Even when I do a traditional gown, I give it a modern twist. I go to the past for research. I need to know what came before so I can break the rules.

I love a black wedding dress.

I've always tried to push myself technically and to push myself visually. That's been part of the journey.

Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.

Fashion offers no greater challenge than finding what works for night without looking like you are wearing a costume.

Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.

My normal routine is pretty much putting out fires all day.

It's a remarkable exercise to sit and look at your own work over the years.

When you love something, every day goes by in 10 minutes.

I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.

When you have a passion for something then you tend not only to be better at it, but you work harder at it too.

In the end, it’s not about failure, it’s about how much you love what you do.

A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.

Success isn't about the end result; it's about what you learn along the way.

Western, jazz, folk, or tribal music, whatever the form, they all have the same sapta swaras as the basis.

Art is a unifying language for all of us from across the world, and it transcends boundaries.

Questioning the origin of music is like asking why the breeze is soothing, why you shiver in exhilaration when the spray from the waterfall hits you.
