Yves Saint Laurent liked women to put their hands in their pockets, or to hold cigarettes, and act a bit like boys. It was to give an impression of composure, some self-assurance, and to counter the feminine appearance.

I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.

Today there is too much retouching, and I don't like it, except on me.

A magazine is not just one person. And a fashion shoot is the same!

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.

You can't learn how to be elegant; you can only learn how to avoid mistakes. The rest is instinct. Elegance is about the way you cross your legs, not the label or the newest clothes from the latest collection.
