All I want to do is make people beautiful.

To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.

All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.

If you take something out of the freezer, it's cold, but what happens when it melts? It's a cool party, a cool person, a cool collection. What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that are uncool, things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility.

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.

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 adore women, and the one thing I want to do more than anything is to see a transformation of personality when someone puts on one of my dresses.
