Never dress down for the poor. They won't respect you for it. They want their First Lady to look like a million dollars.

I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.

Doesn't the fight for survival also justify swindle and theft? In self defence, anything goes.

They went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes.

Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.

Beauty is not extravagance; beauty is life.

If you know how much you've got, you probably haven't got much.
