Delete the negative; accentuate the positive!	Positive	101
I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.	Architecture, Space	102
Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul.		103
I love skiing, I love the sun, I love my children, I love my grandchildren, I love my family and friends... and whatever I haven't done.	Family	104
Age and size are only numbers. It's the attitude you bring to clothes that make the difference.	Age, Attitude	105
If I weren't doing what I'm doing today... I'd be traveling around the world on the back of a motorcycle.		106

Basically, I was a hippie and still am a flower child.		108
Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter.	Design	109
Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable.	Design	110

I'd rather promote New York than anything else in this world because New York to me means the world.		116
It's really easy to get colors right. It's really hard to get black - and neutrals - right. Black is certainly a color but it's also an illusion.		117
I think I was a nomad in another life.		118
Scheduling me is not easy, as most people know, because once I start, I don't stop.		119
Originally, back in 1992, DKNY started because I couldn't find a pair of jeans. I also wanted to dress my teenage daughter Gabby. So it was the perfect street wardrobe: jeans, anoraks, jumpsuits, boyfriend jackets, sweaters, skirts and dresses. Then DKNY grew into an entire lifestyle concept, including tailored clothes you wear to work.		120
My daughter Gabby very kindly once said that she thinks I was a better mother because I was doing a job I loved. I now think guilt is a universal part of being a mother. I used to think it was Jewish-mother guilt but now I think it is working-mother guilt.		121
We've come a long way. Power dressing now is designed to let the woman inside us come through.		122
You don't have that much choice in your life, which is one of the big lessons I've learned. I was going to be a designer whether I wanted to be a designer or not.		123
I design from instinct. It's the only way I know how to live. What feels good. What feels right. What is needed. Give me a problem and I will approach it creatively, from my gut.	Design	124
When I first started designing, all women were dressed like men, and I said, 'Hey, guys, let's be women, put the two together - it's not either/or. Let's celebrate our bodies. Our bodies are different.'		125
I wouldn't be who I am without my husband, who handled the business end of Donna Karan so I could be creative.		126
I live for what I haven't done.		201

Business, numbers, negotiations, all that stuff I wouldn't go near.		203

I'm a nature bug.		208
I give Reiki, which is energy, but I don't tell too many people that.		209
It used to be only yoga, but now I do Pilates as well; I feel like I need the balance.		210
I'm truly, truly boring! I don't change. If people know me, I have not changed.		211
If it's a regular day, I won't wear any makeup, just leave my hair down and head out to the car.		212
I'm really quite simple.		213
I always thought what you wore underneath was as important as what you wear on top.		214
I always thought I should have been a better mother.		215
When I started Donna Karan, people weren't really accepting the idea of the working woman.		216
