When people want to be liked for what they did, they should stop.

Black-and-whit e always looks modern, whatever that word means.

My hair is not really white; it’s kind of grayish, and I don’t like the color. So I make it totally white with Klorane dry shampoo. That is the best thing to do because my hair is always clean.

If you stick to something doggedly, you are off to a bad start.

I think that it’s a crime to say you are bored when time is so precious and there are so many things to do in life: read, learn, watch.

Normal people think I’m insane.

Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight.

What I hate is nasty, ugly people.

What I’ve done, Coco Chanel would never have done. She would have hated it.

Argument is the worst sort of conversation.

You’re always in a rush, or else you’re too exhausted to have a proper conversation. Soon enough, the long hours, the traveling, the broken sleep have all crept into your being and become part of you, so everyone can see it, in your posture, your gaze, the way you move and talk.

Our inner conversations often block our natural energy of peace, happiness and love.

A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That’s why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.
