Tim Gunn

If you told me when I was a teen that I would end up being a teacher, I would have said you're out of your mind, because quite frankly I hated school.

I had this wonderful career and thought I would retire as a teacher.

I wouldn't know what to do on a date. I don't have the time. To make a relationship work, I'd have to give something up, and I'm not so sure I'm willing to do that.

I have my flaws and my issues, past and present and who knows what will happen in the future. I want people to know I'm vulnerable too and each one of us is.

I love HGTV. I love the Food Network.

With fashion, you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad.

I've never mentioned this, but when I was at Parsons teaching, the other design disciplines, they don't like fashion design. They see it as very nineteenth-century.

I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.

Take the high road. No matter how much strife, and consternation, frustration and anger you might be confronted with - don't go to that level.
