“People who say that yesterday was better than today are ultimately devaluing their own existence.”

In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.

The elegance is as physical, as moral quality that has nothing common with the clothing. You can see a countrywoman more elegant than one so called elegant woman.

Change is the healthiest way to survive.

No one wants to see curvy women.

I love classic beauty. It’s an idea of beauty with no standard.

I’ve survived quite a few generations. That’s because I never lost my enthusiasm. I wake up every morning like on Christmas Day, waiting for the gifts.

It’s up to you to make everyday as perfect as possible. It’s a question of will and discipline.

You have to like the present; if not your life becomes secondhand, if you think it was better before. Or that it will be better in the future.

Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people… the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life… they are mean and they want to kill you.

If you’re not ready to do a non-stop dialogue with fashion, you should do another job.

I don’t like standard beauty – there is no beauty without strangeness.

I only know how to play one role: me.

When I was 14, I wanted to smoke because my mother smoked like mad. I wanted to smoke to look grown-up. But my mother said: ‘You shouldn’t smoke. Your hands are not that beautiful and that shows when you smoke.

Be politically correct, but please don’t bother other people with conversation about being politically correct, because that’s the end of everything. You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation.

I think tattoos are horrible. It’s like living in a Pucci dress full-time.

When I was a child, I never played with other children. I hated them.
