I am a black diamond, unfaceted. Black diamonds are rare, hard to cut, and therefore uncommercial.

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

I only know how to play one role: me.

Designers must be both conscious and unconscious at the same time. Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle talent.

I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.

I never fall in love.

Black-and-whit e always looks modern, whatever that word means.
