I love creative people.

I want to be a major force.

I am a Florenz Ziegfeld fanatic.

I don't believe in one ideal beauty.

New York ladies all look immaculate.

I am a huge believer in social media.

I am a compulsive and concise shopper.

There's nothing wrong with being pretty.

I am totally unattached to material items.

As a designer, I'm not interested in trend.

It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules.

I started cooking out of middle school depression.

Fashion is killing women's body image of themselves.

I garden in my Brooks Brothers pajamas and straw hat.

I'm quite a tuxedo junkie, I collect them all year round.

One of my fantasies is to produce 'Auntie Mame' as a play.

Chefs have the ego of an actor and fashion designer combined.

To be able to buy a plant and plant it, that's a luxury to me.

People who devote themselves to a life of style are admirable.

Authenticity from a person and product is absolutely essential.

I cherish my time off and the solitude that comes along with it.

For the red carpet, I think dress first and the makeup to follow.

So many people are following fashion now. It's become fashion-tainment.

Listen, I'm not a rich kid. I'm a cultured kid; I'm very rich in culture.

I feel very fortunate that I make everything I wear head to toe every day.

I was born and raised on 'Singin' in the Rain.' It's in my work. It's in me.

I like to vegetate when on vacation given my busy schedule when I'm at work.

I don't wear flip-flops, so my casual shoe is a Brooks Brothers tuxedo slipper!

Fashion has a dark side - it's not all runways and lipstick and fishtail gowns.

Don't worry about what's cool and what's not cool. Authenticity is what's cool.

To me, being in fashion is about your work, not about facilitating a lifestyle.

Some of the best kitchen discoveries come about through total kitchen disasters.

I have a garden, and I collect different heirloom seeds from different neighbors.

There's a reason good fabrics have a cost. They're done with good quality to last.

Taking sartorial risks and not following other people is what makes you stand out.

I personally love grilling, but it's a 15- to 20-minute commitment in entertaining.

The practice of patience in crafting and process is a virtue that needs to come back.

The way I cut my clothing... it is about empowerment and loving the curves of the body.

Food is everything. Food, friends, family: Those are the most important things in life.

As a little boy, my mom would bake with me on the weekends - that was our time together.

I'm definitely planning ahead for a brand that spans the universe - a Zac Posen universe.

As one grows their company and brand, you have to learn to be a leader, and there's no formula.

I'm not a chef. But I'm passionate about food - the tradition of it, cooking it, and sharing it.

I'm a pretty controlled and disciplined person, but my real vice is buying plants and food shopping.

I was not a young fashion victim. I really had an idea of what I liked in fashion and how I dressed.

A great trick for frying is to put a popcorn kernel in the oil, and when it pops, you're ready to fry.

Sometimes, late at night on the set of 'Project Runway,' I've been known to pop an interpretive dance.

I have to bring my A-Game 24/7, between creating, draping, and overseeing a myriad of different brands.

Every seam, every lace, every bead has been painstakingly, with love, corrected, perfected and mastered.

Be non-trend-driven, and explore, be creative and take risks as an artist and as a cultural communicator.
