A good host is someone who really takes care of everyone, from the food to their daily programme. I can't.

If I could do shoes for anyone, it would be a special project for the Queen of England.

I don't repeat that many styles if I can help, although some have become classics. I try not to repeat. I'd rather surprise people.

The higher the better. It's more about an attitude. High heels empower women in a way.

A good pump is a silhouette, like the bone structure of the face. It's like a beautiful face with no make-up. You can cover a not-so-beautiful face with make-up, but it is just a mask - it is the same with shoes.

When I started to work on perfume, I could not reduce the idea of a woman to one smell.

It is a great thing to be at your age... You are at a very specific time of age ... an age where you can follow all your dreams. But also at an age when you can change-you can change your dreams, you can change paths. When you start something when you're young, you should not decide 'this is it, this is my way and I will go all the way.' You have the age where you can change. You get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. Your age is still an age of exploration.
