“I never fall in love.”

People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.

Books are a hard-bound drug with no danger of an overdose. I am the happy victim of books.

I like to reinvent myself – it’s part of my job.

Think pink, but don’t wear it.

Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Improvise. Become more creative. Not because you have to, but because you want to. Evolution is the secret for the next step.

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.

Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight.

You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur

I hate birthdays, .. It’s more like a new starting point in New York. For me, it’s an evolution. I don’t celebrate the past. I like the present and tomorrow.

I’m open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.

Dress for yourself and the man you love (if there is one). Women dressing to impress other women–forget about that. Forget about that. It’s a very bad way of thinking.

I played against the Brazilians in ’82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.

I only want to sleep . . . and never wake.

To add insult to injury, most Americans never knew that, and most Mexicans have never forgotten it.

Fear is our boon companion but never our master.

A true friend never asks of you what they know you would never ask of them.

One that cackles at these capers and another that never gets much beyond a rather jaded and self-conscious smile, like the Mona Lisa.

I learnt that I must never finish a book with nothing else to do.

It [Cambridge] wasn’t a holy grail in the sense that I’d never been to Cambridge.
