At Yves Saint Laurent, I felt like the son-in-law - like I was part of the family, but not quite. When I was fired, I felt like the widow.

I do sport at the gym a few times a week, but I hate it. Work is my only remedy. I feel so twisted and horrible in the morning, but then I go to the office and I start feeling better. Work is my Tylenol. Extra-strength.

I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.

I have a problem to do a collection that is a secondary line. I mean, you don’t want to be the stepsister. You want to be Cinderella. Show me one girl who wants to be the stepsister.

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

I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.

I love and respect women. I work mostly with women.
