“People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.”

I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.

I’m not a social person. Not that I’m not at ease. I’m pretty good, but it bores me. Not the people, but the whole thing. What for? It’s not very productive. I only want to do what I have to do: fashion, photography, books. And that’s all.

Chic is a kind of mayonnaise, either it tastes, or it doesn’t.

The French say you get hungry when you’re eating, and I get inspired when I’m working. It’s my engine.

Fashion designers are dictators of taste.

Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans – it’s up to you.

I have no personality, or I have three, depending on how you look at it.

I’m not an employee who goes to the office every morning at the same time. Then, vacations are needed.

I like girls to be wild but at the same time beautifully brought up and very funny.

I don’t care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.

I’m a working-class person, working with class.

I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.

The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.

Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection.

The purpose of life is life.

I don’t like sleeping with people I really love. I don’t want to sleep with them because sex cannot last, but affection can last forever.

Books dont need batteries

A battery of field artillery is worth a thousand muskets.

If you don’t stay in some days, you can’t recharge your batteries.

An hour or two of learning from the masters is usually enough to recharge my artistic batteries.

At least once a week, I try to have one day where I have nothing planned so I can get up and just go back to bed and lay around and recharge my batteries.

The law is a battery, which protects all that is behind it, but sweeps with destruction all that is outside.

Reading allows me to recharge my batteries.

Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn’t carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.
