Sunglasses are great, but I always feel a bit pretentious wearing sunglasses. I mean, I do love to wear them.

I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.

I'm always reading many books at a time. It might be quite unorthodox, but what I do is, since I'm always surrounded with books, I'll read a page of physics, and then I'll read a chapter of a novel that I really love, and then I'll say, "Oh well, what does that mixture do in my head?" I adore reference books. I love encyclopedias. I also like just going back to original texts, because a lot of these self-help books today.

I think life is about having the mixture of the curiosity of an older person and the imagination of a child.

Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you carry on.

In fashion, there are so many gangs, if you identify too much with one, you get caught - I would lose my freedom.

A marriage is a solemn affair. The tempest of emotions and the myriad of arrangements are giddying, and when one is faced with these, clothing seems to be the last of one's priorities.
