THINGS THAT YOU PURCHASED WHEN YOU FELT THAT YOU MADE IT:

"1. I want to preface this by saying that made it is a sticky thing, so I’d rather say, when I made enough money to afford these things. I met my wife when I was on the road, and she (Marisol Maldonado) was on the road with me for a year and we basically got off the bus in NYC and stayed at the SoHo Grand and started to look for an apartment downtown and you know the SoHo vibe, it wasn’t that great – you paid a whole lot of money to make it look like you had no money! But we had this great loft above Helmut Lang on Spring and Broome. For a kid from South Carolina, my wife was from the city – but for me, it felt like something.

2 We moved up to Westchester and I got a Navigator, which at that time was the car you were supposed to get if you moved up to Westchester. 

3. More of a general thing, as I started to do well, I started to appreciate nice clothes – meaning a good fit on something. I was of the mind starting out that it didn’t really matter a T-shirt is a T-shirt. I want to be Springsteen and he doesn’t care. Luckily, my manager managed George Michael and David Bowie, and a lot of people who were very fashion conscious, and he was the first person to tell me, “don’t think that Bruce Springsteen doesn’t think very hard about which jeans and which T-shirts he puts on.” You start buying nice designers and I don’t mean super expensive things but just mindful creative designers – you feel the difference in textures and you feel the difference in quality and my wife being a runway model, fine tuned that into me as well! "
