You can’t do this! We have an arrangement! We have a contract!

Things that seemed simple and superfluous had some meaning, maybe it wasn’t a great meaning, it didn’t shake the world…

I’ve earned all this money. I’ve worked for it. I didn’t cheat anybody. I didn’t issue junk bonds and put people out of work. I earned it. And I live relatively modestly given my level of success and wealth.

My life is a success – I am a happy man.

[On urging Nyro to tell Barbara Streisand that ‘Wedding Bell Blues’ had been personally written for her] It’s not a big lie.

It’s very easy for me to thank everyone for the incredible contribution they’ve made to my life.

I’m not ashamed to dress ‘like a woman’ because I don’t think it’s shameful to be a woman.

The idea was to expand the concept of family, as it’s part of our history, and we wanted other families of women. In the case of the Kardashians, they are all three of them very strong women, with strong personalities. It’s an iconic family

Peach smells sooooo good and perfect for summer. Vibes is sultry and fresh!

I like a colorful sock. I’m a sock man.

It’s the 90’s. You don’t want to look rich.

I think it’s just very subjective. It’s whatever you want. I’m obviously very flattered when I see people re-create our makeup looks, and we love that.

I look good, smell good, and make love good!

A fine timepiece is part of dressing like a gentleman. When I first made a little money, I bought my first watch which was a Rolex Daytona. It was just one of those things that said I was successful.

I think the Kardashian look is exotic. Curvy. Definitely sexual. And um, playful.

I like things that are worn, like an old pick-up truck that’s stood by you, hauled wood or hay, moved your neighbor’s furniture, carried kids and dogs. It’s a little dented and the paint’s a little faded, but that patina is evidence of a history of work and a kind of honesty, which to me is very American.

Clothes are fun. The designers have so much fun making them, you should have fun wearing them, too.

I was so happy when I saw Jimmy Kimmel walk out in the Yeezys. That was an olive branch. He lead with love. I appreciate Jimmy and his team. You guys are Jedi’s. much love.

To me, it’s very important to follow that tradition and try to find those champions, role models for the next generation.

If I’m just in dungarees, I don’t think I would intimidate anyone.

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.
