I've been working with Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy.It's been a long collaboration, and I don't think it's going to stop now. It's very important to me. Riccardo is younger than me, so it's great to have someone new teaching you in everything, not just in fashion. I'm teaching him in French style, what a women's style is, but he's teaching me in all of these different styles of music.I love this new world for me. It's refreshing and nourishing to keep learning about new things.

When you have confidence, when you feel loved by people, you can tell them the truth. It's important that I can say the photo isn't beautiful or the photo shoot sucks.

Dancing is the last sport with no sponsor.

I believe in the Yves Saint Laurent woman who either has her hands in the pockets of her pantsuit or is holding her lover's hand. She doesn't need a bag.

Imitation always stinks. When I take photos, I don't go back. I don't look at the past. I'm always original.

At the start, I had no idea to go into fashion, because I thought people would think I was stupid. I don't worry about those things anymore.

I don't say "oh, I'm a grandmother; I can't wear this anymore." Everything I can't wear I've already given to my daughter.
