Do not write if there is no tremendous urge to do so. At the heart, there must be an inspiration or muse or one of those old-fashioned things. Else, why bore yourself, destroy other people's interest and kill trees?
However old-fashioned and right-wing this may sound, the American genius for language lies in understatement, in saying things simply, pointedly and quickly, and in making new and clean and swift what otherwise might be ponderous, round and slow.
My mother is massively into sailing, so we always had Musto clothes, and it went on from there, really. I wouldn't say it's a career in fashion. The range is all day-to-day stuff that I'd put on and use myself.
I've been round Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, and China in the last few months and the message that I've been taking is that New Zealand is building an up market dynamic into a connected economy. And that we are not the old-fashioned, ship mutton kind of ...
I have a showroom where we experiment with twelve cakes. We develop sketches and ideas for cakes for the next season. We work with the top fashion designers to see what type of lace they are using or work with the top florist for us to be able to mak...
When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that's a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that's the thrill in fashion.
I've always been inspired by women, and my mission was to inspire women. I always wanted to become a certain kind of woman, and I became that woman through fashion. It was a dialogue. I would see that the wrap dress made those women confident, and ma...
Women are the only 'oppressed' group that is able to buy most of the $10 billion worth of cosmetics each year; the only oppressed group that spends more on high fashion, brand-name clothing than its oppressors; the only oppressed group that watches m...
But a person, I would say, is an individual living really with the world. And 'with' the world, I don't mean in the world- just in real contact, in real reciprocity with the world in all the points in which the world can meet man.
A theory not only explains the world we see, it lets us imagine other worlds, and, even more significantly, lets us act to create those worlds. Developing everyday theories, like scientific theories, has allowed human beings to change the world.
I actually love history. I've devoured book after book of stories from World War I and World War II. They're really two sections of world history that really interest me.
The heart is small and embraces the whole wide world.
Shrug off the no’s – they are temporary. This is your world. In your world there is only yes.
We are regarded as a Third World country with First World living conditions.
It is said that the world is in a state of bankruptcy, that the world owes the world more than the world can pay.
My dad was a big admirer of Sergeant York stories from the First World War.
The way you look to the world, define the way you stand in the world. Change perspective, change the world
Without the spiritual world the material world is a disheartening enigma.
One lives in the world's memory only by what they have done in the world's behalf.
World Security Council: Where are the Avengers? Nick Fury: I'm not currently tracking their whereabouts. I'd say they've earned a leave of absence. World Security Council: And the Tesseract? Nick Fury: The Tesseract is where it belongs: out of our re...
What's fascinating to me is the way that multiple stories go into creating any world - a fictional world, but certainly the world that we live in as well. Of course, I cannot control that world. I can just control the fictional world.
