Everyone has their dates. For me, it's 1991. I can place every memory of my life either before or after this date. It's the year I became an adult. My mother died, and I created my company shortly thereafter. I definitely would not have done it if she hadn't passed away. ↗

I like to undress women - not to dress them. You know, like Manet's 'Olympia' or Helmut Newton's photographs - naked women with shoes. This is what I am trying to do. ↗

I'm really not a fascist. Everyone wears what they feel great in, or comfortable with. It's a beautiful day, you have an armless shirt: it goes with flip-flops. ↗

As anyone who is gay will confirm, being that way is not something you become, it is a set of emotional and physical responses that just are. ↗

Coming out involves varying degrees of difficulty that are affected by class, race, religion, and geography. ↗

As I was coming out of the closet, our car was hurtling over an embankment. ↗
