“I don’t want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy”

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.

There’s nothing wrong with wearing a look over and over again, if it suits you and makes you feel great.

It makes me feel feminine and safe. I don’t like to be hovering over a guy or feel like a linebacker.

There are two kinds of people in this world.

How dialogue sounds, what feels authentic and sounds real, what’s funny, how to build distinctive and original characters.

Those who want to know the facts, and those who want to make up a nice story to feel better.

You start to feel very weighted down sometimes.

There are books that change the way you feel and see; this is one of them.

If you’re comfortable in your own skin, you will feel beautiful – and look beautiful to others, too.
