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.
Carine RoitfeldImitation always stinks. When I take photos, I don't go back. I don't look at the past. I'm always original.
Carine RoitfeldI 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.
Carine RoitfeldMaybe it's good a thing that people see me this way [in the documentary film]. They expect to see me with the high heels, the glamour looks, but now they will see me running through an airport with flat shoes! Also, they'll discover that stylists with "names" are in general nicer, sweeter, have a heart, have great relationships with family and friends, and that's important. It shows that people in fashion aren't just freaks.
