Everyone wants to be young and skinny. This is awful. Curves are marvelous. Wrinkles are hypnotizing. Why not just be happy with who you are?

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

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

Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.

I'm not a plastic surgeon, and I cannot change the DNA of a person, but when I see a woman try on my clothes and she feels beautiful, I know I am doing my job.

If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.

I always say that women are very strong and men are powerful. But beauty gives you both strength and power. I never think of it. It's just one of those natural things. It's the only thing I know how to do.
