“Keep the best, forget the rest.”

There’s something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living…

Don’t dress to kill, dress to survive.

I hate amateurs. I hate unprofessional people. There are enough people who can do jobs decently that there’s no reason that people who cannot do them decently [should] pretend to be great at it.

EXTREME LUXURY ISN’T THE MOST BLING-BLING, IT’S EXTREME REFINEMENT, WHICH IS COUTURE AT ITS FINEST.

I like the idea of craziness with discipline.

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.

Letting go is not only okay it’s best.

Your best success comes after your greatest disappointment.

I’d like to take a course in writing. I’m not the best writer in the world. I’d like to write more neatly, even though people don’t send many handwritten letters these days.

When you’re the best, you only want to surround yourself with the best.

I try my best to learn from other people’s mistakes. I have a lot of respect for people who can change.

I did my best. I guess my best wasn’t good enough.

Either I believe I can be the best heavyweight fighter in the world and beat everyone, or I will not. I feel I can beat everyone as a heavyweight.

Don’t struggle so much, the best things happen when not expected.
