I would hate for someone to look at my shoe and say, 'Oh my God! That looks so comfortable!'

Boredom is a concept that I don't understand.

I always loved fish for the colors and birds for the plumage. In the same way, I loved those women of the cabaret. They were birds of paradise.

When I have meetings scheduled so tight that I can't go to the loo, that's where I draw the line!

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.

High heels are pleasure with pain.

The thing I always try to remember is that feet are attached to the leg, and that you must prolong the silhouette. The shoe elongates the leg and does it discreetly. The goal is to get people to look at a woman's legs. It's all about the leg. No, it's not about the leg. It's about the woman.
