Vanity is the healthiest thing in life.

You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur

I'm not a marketing person. I don't ask myself questions. I go by instinct.

If you throw money out of the window throw it out with joy. Don’t say: 'one shouldn't do that' - that is bourgeois.

I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was.

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.

Clothes if they are not well cut, you can kill nobody. A building poorly built can kill people. It's a much more difficult work. I would not compare myself with that.
