In Holland and Belgium, and afterwards in England, my happiest moments were in the country. I've always had a passion for the outdoors, for trees, for birds and flowers.

I don’t take my life seriously, but I do take what I do – in my life – seriously -

I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

If I blow my nose, it gets written all over the world.

I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's.

Elegance is the only beauty that never fades.
