Most of my life I was occupied with American television and American food. My ethnicity was my choice. It still is.
I'd love to talk to Angelina Jolie. On my show I would love her because she's a mysterious, mysterious figure.
The reason people like to watch ball games is because they don't really know exactly what's going to happen from moment to moment. That's why you watch the entire thing.
If you try to have a fashion show with Bach fugues and John Coltrane, it doesn't really work.
I'd love to talk to Joaquin Phoenix because he's a very private guy. Also, he's creating a new kind of sexy leading man. To me, his face is new and might be legendary someday.
You listen to Handel operas, right? And there are a thousand of them, right? And they all sound alike. If I look back on my work, maybe it's the same thing.
You're not working with models, you're working with real women who have, like, anatomy. Models do not have anatomy.
Just when I think I hate fashion, I hate clothes, I'm seized by this crazy thing that I have to do. I have this little studio now where I just draw. I can be in the room for three days and not even look up.
Even though I grew up as a Sephardic Jew in Brooklyn where we ate Syrian food and went to temple, it was still America.
The last thing I want to become is one of those talking heads where everything is satiny smooth and you know what the next question is going to be.
