When I go out to eat, it's usually something moderate in style.
I'm, in general, an advocate of moderate ticket prices.
I just lip gloss! It doesn't matter if it's $2 or $30.
You can enjoy a $15 bottle of wine as much as you can enjoy a $100 bottle of wine.
People want variety and something that is affordable.
In general in New York, we all eat like kings. Insane quality, mind-blowing variety, at all price ranges.
I hate to say it, but the truth is that the upscale line is where I get respect as a designer. The higher the price range, the higher the respect level from the industry, even though it's much easier to make a great $500 dress than a great $100 dress.
I think there will be PCs at every price point.
The idea was to have something wearable that fit with my reality, which was being a mom with two young kids and not always wanting to wear jeans. I still wanted to wear interesting clothes, and the options out there I found were either very expensive or very cheap. There was a big gap in the middle.
The first calculators tended to sell for $400 or $500. Today, you can get a pretty good one for 4 or $5.
I sat down and collected all of our eleven sales for the past six months and I added them all together and divided by eleven. I then took that average and presented it as the average price for a Manhattan apartment. The media ate it up.
A common price isn't the lowest price. It will most obviously be the highest price.
There is always going to be that luxury customer out there. I have clients who buy $10,000 dresses and clients who buy $60 dresses. It's not so much about the money. Design is a mentality.
Valuation is what people are willing to pay.
Different types of chicken come at different price points. Filets are going to be more expensive. If it's bone-in and skin-on it's going to be less expensive.
Finding a new couch is a daunting process. New couches are not as soft or deep as you want. I prefer a long, single bench because then it becomes a day bed. These are things that you can buy at a flea market and make exactly what you want.
We're going to make the product as good as we can, and we're going to try to put it out as reasonably priced as we can. We don't want a $600 shirt. We want a shirt which is around $100.
The thing with fashion is that when I see something that I like, I just go with it. I don't really go towards one designer or the other. It's just what I like. It could be expensive, it could be cheap. If it fits me, and it's my style, I'll wear it.
The Cheesecake Factory's not that bad.
Everybody cares about not only quality and functionality, but they also want the power of choice, whether it's a small vehicle or a large vehicle.
You may grow very quickly the first two years and then watch the business decline, unless you really start selling product at any price range with various degrees of quality.
Young girls - like friends of my daughter's - always ask if we do prom dresses, and we do dresses that would be lovely, but £2,000 isn't realistic for most girls. The Debenhams collection will hopefully be great for that sort of event because the price point is much lower.
I can afford to get Tesco's finest sandwiches rather than the basic ones.
If people ask me, 'What do you think could improve in Toronto dining,' I'd say there's nothing to improve on.
For a long time I have been thinking about affordable fashion - you can be disappointed when not so many people can wear your stuff.
