“I always find beauty in things that are odd & imperfect - they are much more interesting.”

“It's the things that aren't accepted as conventionally beautiful that I find more attractive.”

“I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.”

“One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.”

“Innovation is an evolutionary process, so it's not necessary to be radical all the time.”

“Eighth Doctor: I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren’t there.”

“. . . my obsession with gratefulness. I can't stop. Just now, I press the elevator button and am thankful that it arrives quickly. I get onto the elevator and am thankful that the elevator cable didn't snap and plummet me to the basement. I go to the fifth floor and am thankful that I didn't have to stop on the second or third or fourth floor. I get out and am thankful that Julie left the door unlocked so I don't have to rummage for my King Kong key ring. I walk in, and am thankful that Jasper is home and healthy and stuffing his face with pineapple wedges. And on and on. I'm actually muttering to myself, 'Thank you. . .thank you. . . thank you.' It's an odd way to live. But also kind of great and powerful. I've never before been so aware of the thousands of little good things, the thousands of things that go right every day.”
