I wonder about prisoners. They're told, "You are free, you are innocent, you can go anywhere." I'm sure they usually feel nothing. They don't burst into tears or hysterics or joy or "I told you so." It's nothing. To be on the straight path isn't a bloody thing. It's just ordinary.

I was always fascinated by the absurdities and luxuries and the snobbism of the world that fashion magazines showed. Of course, it’s not for everyone...But I lived in that world, not only during my years in the magazines business but for years before, because I was always of that world-- at least in my imagination.

What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about.

I was always sort of a loner, I suppose. I always had to think out everything for myself... I suppose that is what you call a loner.

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

Fragrances fill the senses with the mysterious.

I've always had such wonderful opportunities, but I never made the effort, haven't put on the pressure. But I never took them.
