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

Sometimes it’s easy to have ideas, but somebody has to find a way to do it. Often those responsible for finding a way don’t have the idea.

If someone gives me a to-do list, I say ‘thank you, this is nice.’ One needs things to throw in the wastebasket.

I hated the company of other children. I wanted to be a grownup person, to be taken seriously. I hated the idea of childhood; I thought it was a moment of endless stupidity.

For every book you buy, you should buy the time to read it.

What I love best in life is new starts.

Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.

Trendy is the last stage before tacky.

The secret to modeling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new.

It’s great that in life you do something that you want to do because you like doing it and you’re not bored. I’m not bored at all. I’m even interested in lots of things, more so today than before.

I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it’s a very healthy discipline.

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.

The things that stress me out haven’t changed. But I don’t wanna lose anything. So I thought that at least I would change. I’m lucky…that I’m afraid of losing something.

It took us five hours to reach Tokyo, but I was really happy. I kept talking about myself, and didn’t hear anything about Nana. But now that I know you better; I know you wouldn’t say anything.

As expected life isn’t that sweet at all. When I came to Tokyo I thought I could achieve anything with my own two hands. It’s not like that.

I had a feeling that my generation-and me, also-we were naked. We did not belong to anything.

Selling high or low doesn’t mean anything. It has to do purely with the market.

I never regret anything.

The art always wins. Anything can happen to me, but the art will stay.

A meditative mind is at ease because it’s not trying to acquire anything.
