There is always an emotional element to anything that you make. I was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle. Itβs hard to balance everything. Itβs always challenging. My relationships with producers or photographers β these are relationships that took years. I canβt get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think itβs just crass. My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor. Vanity is the healthiest thing in life. I believe that my clothes can give people a better image of themselves β that it can increase their feelings of confidence and happiness. You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I donβt need to do that any more. I donβt really know how to do casual clothes.
But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally consequences.
