Elegance is a physical quality. If a woman doesn't have it naked, she'll never it clothed.

Fashion is ephemeral, dangerous and unfair.

Fashion does not have to prove that it is serious. It is the proof that intelligent frivolity can be something creative and positive

When people talk about the good old days, I say to people, 'It's not the days that are old, it's you that's old.' I hate the good old days. What is important is that today is good.

I had an interview once with some German journalist - some horrible, ugly woman. It was in the early days after the communists - maybe a week after - and she wore a yellow sweater that was kind of see-through. She had huge tits and a huge black bra, and she said to me, "It's impolite; remove your glasses." I said, "Do I ask you to remove your bra?"

I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.

I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.
