“Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people… the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life… they are mean and they want to kill you.”

I am physically allergic to flip-flops

Dieting is the only game where you win when you lose!

Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young.

To reinvent a newly impeccable you in the most modern of outfits, don’t skip on makeup and be sure to have flawless skin and hair. That will have more impact than expensive clothes.

Life should be larger than life. Size is important to escape normalization.

I design like I breathe. You don’t ask to breathe. It just happens

Forgiveness is too easy. I can forget by indifference, but not forgive. I prefer revenge.

I’m not a marketing person. I don’t ask myself questions. I go by instinct.

Elegance is a physical quality. If a woman doesn’t have it naked, she’ll never it clothed.

Like poetry, fashion does not state anything. It merely suggests.

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’m not scared of Tiger. I’m not scared to go head-to-head. I’m not scared to have a long-drive contest with him.

A nervous breakdown calling himself a magician, two coachloads of 70-year-old religious maniacs looking for a fight and a fancy-dress contest that nobody knew about.

People are ready to do either, and the content has to work on both.

This contest between the secular and religious visions of government is really the main choice to be made

You will find that the truth is often unpopular and the contest between agreeable fancy and disagreeable fact is unequal.

Boxing is a contest of character and ingenuity. The boxer with more will, determination, desire, and intelligence is always the one who comes out the victor.

You are in a partnership with all other human beings, not a contest to be judged better than some and worse than others.

You’re about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.
