My life has been more influenced by books than by any other one thing.

I always say I hope to God I die in a town with a good tailor, a good shoemaker, and perhaps someone who's interested in a little quelque chose d'autre.

The hottest thing in the world is to wear pants with stockings.

I'm terrible on facts. But I always have an idea. If you have an idea, you're well ahead

I read everything! I would have read the phone book if you put it in front of me. I just read.

Too much good taste can be very boring. Independent style, on the other hand, can be very inspiring.

The way to judge a good hand is that the fingers are the same size at the tip as where they come out of the hand itself.
