When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.

I am very much a people person. If I am in a beautiful place but I don't like the people, I am miserable.

Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.

For me, Lancome was more than just a brand. There was something very nostalgic about the name, about the whole story.

Making them feel gorgeous and comfortable is my way of making women's lives easier.

I am very sensitive to the smells and sensations that are part of perfumes because they remind me of things: moments from the past, people, events.

I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, inventing. The day I cease to learn, I must stop.
