Algebra looked like Chinese characters to me, and I could never get into reading Shakespeare. I just did not get it.

I looked at my competitors and I thought that, If they could do it, I could do it. And if, they are popular and doing well, I could compete with them.

We had incense and rock'n'roll posters, and we sold records and rolling papers. People could just, like, hang out. We had a cool vibe going.

I've never tried to do couture, because it's a whole different beast.

If I see someone wearing Hilfiger it makes me proud, but then I wonder what I could do to make the style more relevant for them next year?

We like to believe our fashion is growing.
