“I’ve survived quite a few generations. That’s because I never lost my enthusiasm. I wake up every morning like on Christmas Day, waiting for the gifts.”

Don’t wear what you question, wear what you think is right for you.

I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.

The brain is a muscle, and I’m a kind of body-builder.

Its all about taste.If you are cheap, nothing helps

My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn’t dare do themselves.

Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.

I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.

I don’t want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven’t done. There’s no “again.” There’s only the future. I hate the past – especially my own past.

Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.

I never fall in love.

I’m never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that’s the secret to doing things well.

I’m born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching.

These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly. Fashion is about dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women.

Personality begins where comparison ends.

Work is making a living out of being bored.

I never drink anything hot; I don’t like hot drinks, very strange.

Practice sharing the fullness of your being, your best self, your enthusiasm, your vitality, your spirit, your trust, your openness, above all, your presence. Share it with yourself, with your family, with the world.

Positive thinking is how you think about a problem. Enthusiasm is how you feel about a problem. The two together determine what you do about a problem.

But I know also that still more interesting discoveries will be made that I have not the imagination to describe – and I am awaiting them, full of curiosity and enthusiasm.

Men will gather knowledge no matter what the consequences. Science will go on whether we are pessimistic or optimistic, as I am. More interesting discoveries than we can imagine will be made, and I am awaiting them, full of curiosity and enthusiasm.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

If you act enthusiastic, you will become enthusiastic. A mediocre mind that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.

Forcing myself to think positively did wonders for my spirit. I was able to overcome the discontent inside me, and my old enthusiasm slowly returned.
