“Logos and branding are so important. In a big part of the world, people cannot read French or English–but are great in remembering signs.”

I don’t want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven’t done. There’s no “again.” There’s only the future. I hate the past – especially my own past.

Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.

I never fall in love.

I’m never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that’s the secret to doing things well.

I’m born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching.

These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly. Fashion is about dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women.

Personality begins where comparison ends.

Work is making a living out of being bored.

I never drink anything hot; I don’t like hot drinks, very strange.

I sleep seven hours. If I go to bed at two, I wake up at nine. If I go to bed at midnight, I wake up at seven. I don’t wake up before – the house can fall apart, but I sleep for seven hours.

I hate the word ‘cheap’. People are cheap. Clothing is either expensive or inexpensive.

I am physically allergic to flip-flops

Dieting is the only game where you win when you lose!

Life should be larger than life. Size is important to escape normalization.

I’m not really a big X’s and O’s guy, but if you want to go there, I’m more of a space-the-floor type of coach:

But that is the only thing that slows me down is the system. No one, two or three was big enough to slow me down, only the system. It was the system that slowed me down to make my numbers fall. Not because I am older.

I’m a big softie.

Whenever there is a big game and people don’t think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.

I’m a big competitor.

I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.

The biggest problem is not to let people accept new ideas, but to let them forget the old ones.

Yes, it’s true – I love the roar of the crowd. When the fans are with you, their voices come together in a big booming rush of sound that you can actually feel in your body – almost like a wave that lifts you and carries you past your own limits.
