I design like I breathe. You don't ask to breathe. It just happens

I like everything to be washable, myself included.

People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women.

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.

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.

You have to be impeccable - I was always told as a child by my mother that you always have to be impeccable, even when you go to bed.

I am like a caricature of myself, and I like that. It is like a mask. And for me the Carnival of Venice lasts all year long.
