“I never fall in love.”

Bears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them.

Sunglasses are like eye shadow: They make everything look younger and pretty

I don’t know what “normal” means, anyway.

With expensive fashion, the inside should be as perfect as the outside.

As a child I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to know everything – not that I like to talk about it. I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion.

I think it’s horrible that people have to be told. Don’t smoke! Everybody knows it’s bad for the health. But they have to forbid it.

Seduction is, first and foremost, an art form. And seduction should not always be treated as a wild celebration. In fact, it’s more of an evocation of what you do. It’s more an evocation of seduction.

Chanel is composed of only a few elements, white camellias, quilted bags and Austrian doorman’s jackets, pearls, chains, shoes with black toes. I use these elements like notes to play with.

Fashion and music are the same, because music express its period too.

Stuff your brain with knowledge.

I don’t do meetings. At Chanel, there are no meetings. At Chanel, we do what we want, whenever we want and it works. And Fendi is the same.

Don’t look to the approval of others for your mental stability

What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.

The clothes don’t have to suit you; you have to suit the clothes.

Those social networks, there’s something sad about them. Is it because they don’t have enough knowledge about friends and people? I don’t understand it. It’s like a talkative mirror where people talk to themselves. And what I hate most in life is selfies.

Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.

I loved my parents… but that can never change the fact that my father’s violence ruined my childhood.

I have never had illusions about the value of my individual contribution! I realized early that what a man or a woman does is built on what those who have gone before have done, that its real value depends on making the matter in hand a little clearer.

The New York that Frank Sinatra sang about, people will never know that place. The New Orleans that Louis Armstrong sang about is the New Orleans that’s still there – it’s preserved.

The work never matches the dream of perfection the artist has to start with.

Nature has never read the Declaration of Independence. It continues to make us unequal.

Deliberate cruelty is not forgiveable. It is the most unforgiveable thing in my opinion, and the one thing in which I have never, ever been guilty.

The key is never, never work. Nothing is more aging than work. It’s not only the strain of getting up in the morning for work, but it’s the resentment that settles on your face

Is it possible that nobody has ever known that there never has been a completely civilized man, and won’t be for another thousand years?
