I do things because I enjoy it. That used to be my downfall, but now it's the upside.

I'm surprised as anyone about where I've ended up. Maybe it's because I say yes to things.

I like having a tailor everywhere because I am everywhere.

I wouldn't know how to think inside the box because I don't even know where it is. I wouldn't know how to do it any other way.

My inspiration is always love and history, and my passion to a fault is craftsmanship and responsibility. Those are the simplest things. It goes beyond jewelry. It's every part of my life.

I'm an American searching for some sort of parameters, a way of life - I'm looking for a slight formality, for a place where you can never be overdressed.
