I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear but it's a fear that fuels me that makes me want to work harder that makes me take on more challenges.

Mistakes are painful when they happen but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience.

My dreams came true while wearing the opening look from the spring/summer 2010 Dior ready-to-wear collection. I will never forget how special I felt opening John Galliano's show like I was living a dream.

I can design a collection in a day and I always do cause I've always got a load of Italians on my back moaning that it's late.

Design works if it's authentic inspired and has a clear point of view. It can't be a collection of input.

I didn't really hear any other music other than what my dad was working on until I was 12. My recollection of hearing other music was that I liked some things that I heard but I always thought 'Where's the rest of it?' It didn't have the same amount of detail or instrumentation or imagination in the arrangements.

My dad has a really great record collection that basically went up to the year I was born: 1984.

I think I had kind of an advantage. When I was growing up my dad had just got out of jail and he had a great record collection. He had - it was all - these were the songs. So I heard a lot of these songs like my whole life so for me it was easy. I already knew what I was going to sing.

I listened to the radio so I was influenced by everyone from Michael Jackson to Milli Vanilli. But thankfully my dad had a collection of Cat Stevens albums while my mom was listening to jazz.

Every collection that I work on I always think Is this cool enough to wear to a concert?

The Internet is not just one thing it's a collection of things - of numerous communications networks that all speak the same digital language.

An Army is a collection of armed men obliged to obey one man. Every change in the rules which impairs the principle weakens the army.

What I enjoy doing more than anything is I have my little antique car collection and when the weather is pretty I like to get out one of my old cars. I have a little route I run down in the country down Nachez Trace Parkway. The loop down through there is just really relaxing not much traffic.

I don't put myself on Jeff Beck's level but I can relate to him when he says he'd rather be working on his car collection than playing the guitar.

People who have car collections - I never understood that. I always thought that was unnecessary. It's not beautiful it's not creative. It's just showing how much money you've got.

Whenever I have bid a hasty goodbye to a loved one I've always made sure that my record collection was safely stored away in the boot of the car.

I'm in a business where no one cares about anything except how well your last collection sold.
