You only get a short life, so take chances.

I have learned so much about myself. I have re-discovered that little boy who had the hunger to create, which I think I had lost.

I have a very haute couture way of working.

Fashion is above all an art of change.

I listen and talk to God daily.

McQueen was daring, original, exciting. He shook up the establishment with his creativity and understood what it takes to be a great British ambassador for fashion. I admired him very much. He was a fashion revolutionary that, like me, made the journey from [Central] Saint Martins to Paris where he put his own unique mark on the industry. He will not be forgotten.

Sure, I'd like to be like the House of Chanel
