“What is the worst is a fashion designer who talks all the time of his or her creativity, what they are, how they evolved. Just do it and shut up.”

I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.

I’m not a social person. Not that I’m not at ease. I’m pretty good, but it bores me. Not the people, but the whole thing. What for? It’s not very productive. I only want to do what I have to do: fashion, photography, books. And that’s all.

Chic is a kind of mayonnaise, either it tastes, or it doesn’t.

The French say you get hungry when you’re eating, and I get inspired when I’m working. It’s my engine.

Fashion designers are dictators of taste.

Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans – it’s up to you.

I have no personality, or I have three, depending on how you look at it.

I’m not an employee who goes to the office every morning at the same time. Then, vacations are needed.

I like girls to be wild but at the same time beautifully brought up and very funny.

I don’t care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.

I’m a working-class person, working with class.

I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.

The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.

Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection.

The purpose of life is life.

I don’t like sleeping with people I really love. I don’t want to sleep with them because sex cannot last, but affection can last forever.

Improvisation can be either a last resort or an established way of evoking creativity.

Put hot triggers in the path of motivated people.

Your creativity is waiting for you like a dancing partner.

Time is clay. Go make something.

Catastrophe and creation are twins.

Creativity is people who care enough to keep thinking about something until they find the simplest way to do it.

In order to be open to creativity, one must have the capacity for constructive use of solitude. One must overcome the fear of being alone.

Creativity is neither the product of neurosis nor simple talent, but an intense courageous encounter with the Gods.
