EXTREME LUXURY ISN'T THE MOST BLING-BLING, IT'S EXTREME REFINEMENT, WHICH IS COUTURE AT ITS FINEST.

I must say, some are not very beautifully made. They’re coffee-table books for people who drink alcohol. I have nothing against coffee-table books as long as they are well done. They must not look like gravestones on a table. Sometimes they are too big, they come in boxes and things like this. No, a book has to be easy to open and you don’t have to be a bodybuilder to lift it. I like books I can read in bed. Those big tombstones would kill me.

Books are a hard-bound drug with no danger of an overdose. I am the happy victim of books.

In fact, I don't even know myself. That is the big secret of the story. That there is no story.

Adele is another problem. I never said that she was fat. I said that she was a little roundish; a little roundish is not fat. But for such a beautiful girl... after that she lost eight kilos [17.6 pounds] so I think the message was not that bad.

Children are the last thing I want. I hate all children. For other people, it's fine, but not for me. I was born not to be a family person.

I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.
