"After working for 18 years, all of a sudden I became successful on a level where other people knew it. It's not a cat you can put back in the bag."

Previous Quote

There's no fun in a bag if it's not kicked around, so that it looks as if the cat's been sitting on it-and it usually has. The cat may even be in it! I always put on stickers and beads and worry beads. You can get them from Greece, Israel, Palestine-from anywhere in the world. I always hang things on my bags because I don't like them looking like everyone else's.
