I never leave anything behind. It's like a history, a chain, a line of life, you just have to move and make new steps, and keep it evolving - but my soul is my soul.

Who could imagine a poet wearing anything other than black?

Music is very inspiring to me because "true" music releases a true energy that is just inspiring. It's like when you see a beautiful painting or a wonderful film. You just receive this creative energy, and all of a sudden you want to create too.

Those that think my clothes are androgynous also still believe that women should look like Barbie dolls. That's precisely the problem, the deep-rooted assumptions about what is feminine.

I want to put a soul in a garment. I don't want my clothes to be perfect, because human beings are not perfect.

Fashion has a right to exist, because it permits the people to define themselves over and over again.

For me black is not dark, it's poetic. I don't think of gothic I think of classic - it's a big difference.
