You can only go forward by making mistakes. I'm twenty-seven, not fifty-seven. I'm not Givenchy, I'm Alexander McQueen.

Animals fascinate me because you can find a force, an energy, a fear that also exists in sex.

I am a melancholy type of person.

I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design.

Life to me is a bit of a (Brothers) Grimm fairy tale.

Fame should be left to the film stars.

You can get insular with fashion.
