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.

Fashion is very tough, and we shouldn't forget that before designers were money-makers, they were artists.

Clothing is always a tool that helps me take a picture. But it's never about the clothing.

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.

I'm always anxious when it comes to my kids. This always makes me feel very vulnerable. Sometimes you think you aren't a good mama, you always feel a bit guilty when you're a mom. You want to be everywhere.

I am very obsessed with ballet now because it is a very difficult sport and a beautiful one because it is not about money. It's not like playing football or tennis - dance has no sponsors, it's just for the beauty. Maybe it is the only last pure sport.

Fashion has a political role insofar as following it can give you the impression to belonging to a certain social group or a private club.
